Lotus flower

I was born in the ground
Buried under the slime
My life begun here
All in the bottom of a lake

The ground keeped me prisoner
I suffocated, I wanted to go away
See the world as the other flowers
Which live to exterior

So, I went over the way of water
Rising as far as the surface
Following a light
My guide, in the quiet world

Finally, I saw the day
The sun waited me, coming out the lake
His soft warmth heats my petals
I managed to bloom delicately
Blossom me on a leaf
And recline me in peace
