Pretty Flower

-Pretty Flower-

Pretty flower
Zero is the hour
Time for reflection
Astute
Is thy intention
Repugnant
Is such misdirection
Beautiful
Is your blossom
Wickedly wild
Thus
Somewhat again
Am I inspired
There, growing
Beyond control
Blooming
Beyond said doom
Fighting to be
Something more
Than those next door
Needing to be
That one copy
That one variable
That will separate you
From all others
Grow inconceivable
Grow undeniable
Past all the weeds
Beyond all the screams
Reach those heavens
Way beyond
The sincerest of all
Earth bound afflictions
Pretty flower
You can do it
You must
Be more than before
Cultivate
Propagate
Dare not assimilate
Upward bound
Until your time is done
Under many suns
Be what you must
Dare to live that dream
Never cease
Until the end
Is all that you have
Rise above
Become
Something greater
Unrelatable to all others
Individually or collectively
Be amazingly different
Because I fear
That is all that you have
And all that was meant
Pretty flower
That is your truth
Your purpose and proof
That we are all
Not the same…
