When I formed the words on my cap, my face was glowing
I ended my undergraduate with flowers growing
The navy blue gown emulated shades of violet
My ribbons turned into heels, my eyes were silent
----
I could hear the flapping of wings
Green dotted caterpillars, nudging the birds to sing
I traveled through my many classes alone
Even with a decaying mind, the warm light was brightly shown
In the end, I felt stronger because I had grown
-----
When I stepped into the immense twilight
I saw that I was a woman with passion, a life that should be known
Amidst the loneliness and the hardship I endured
I came to the conclusion that I was matured
-------
No one could take the purple shades that dripped down
They weaved in between long arms and my crown
I was emerging from the earth
The dirt hoisted me up, and I saw my true worth
There was nothing ahead but purple irises and grins
I had accomplished my love for science
Though it felt like the end, I was where my life begins
