The Flower

By: Diamond Smith

By Diamond SmithPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

The flower blooms

Her pedals torn and ripped

The water she consumed

Drained her fragile body

The light

She doesn’t want

It tampers with her soil

Black and dripping with cold

So dark, not bandaged

Collaboration with mold

Now you would think

The flower is old

Once upon her past

Her soil was gold

The leaves

Like anchors

holding her down

Her voice was not heard

Created with no sound

Tortured by parasites

She was picked to the stem

The water drowned her

The storm she let in

Her cell wall

Couldn’t keep them all out

Her beautiful tulip smell

Couldn’t help

With how she felt

The wind blew too hard

And made it hard to breath

She tried to disappear

But to everyone

She would “leave”

She would leave

The flower has been

Scarred, hurt, and abused

She was told to give up

But then she would lose

The flowers stem is straight

Her pedals

As beautiful as ever

That's what you see

Determined by her weather

The flower blooms
