SO BE THE FLOWER

 

A PRETTY PICTURE OF FLOWERS OUTSIDE A RESTAURANT :))

Flowers bloom in spite of the weather and rain. 

So be the flower. 

Smiling through the pain.

It opens itself up to the world

Sharing its bliss 

And providing comfort and grace

Only to be vulnerable

As the world takes and takes

Leaving nothing behind

Greed and selfishness

Is my empathy to be treated that way?

You deserve the empathy you give others, they say

But it matters not 

If you are the only one feeling

Alive

Bright

Experiencing things and emotions

Nothing else can match

That sometimes it gets too much

Overwhelming you

The smell of roses permeates the air

It blinds me.

I can no longer see

I can no longer touch

I can no longer feel

Emotions are now a void of nothingness

Empty space

A silent field

Even the winds no longer reach out to caress

Greed consumes

And selfishness exploits

What good is the world if you feel nothing

But a void of emotion?

Emptiness

Lingering and not quite going away

Just existing. 

So yea, I wrote another poem cause I was feeling poetic and why not?! I don't really know where I wanted to go with this one but I kind of like it? I'm not sure if it turned out well but there's a transition of the life of a flower to losing feeling and emotions and numbness (I want to cover more of this in another form of text soon!) so i hope it was easy to understand i guess? I still really need to work on my poetry :p

But for now, that's all! Just decided to spontaneously post a poem i wrote on the spot at like 10:50p.m when i should really be in bed by now hehe. Anyways, that's it from me today! Will update soon!
