Single Flower
Was walking through an ocean of grass
And there she was
A single flower
The only one of her kind
I stopped
I couldn’t help myself
I admired her beauty
She was physically different from the rest
She was not the same as the grass at all
In appearance
Her own unique touch on beauty
This moment of admiration over her, feeling special
Sadly the flower did not see herself nor know herself
As what she was
She wanted to be another blade of grass
She did not realize she was better
That she was a flower
But because she was lost and confused
With her identity
She acted like the grass around her
And lost her value
She was not special on the inside
But continuously reaching out to the grass around her
For their approval
Because she was caught up in
Trying to be like every other blade of grass around her
I saw this poor flowers dilemma
And decided to help her
She did not know
And she did not understand
But all the hell I raised
Was for her
She never asked for it
And would fight it if she knew it
Claiming she doesn’t need anything from a man
She wants her own freedom
Her own path
And I respect that
But I see where she’s holding herself back
I see the flaw within her
So I forced upon her
Affection, passion, and romance
Planting a new seed within her
One that will sprout
“The real deal” in her
True happiness
Maybe even True love
Not in me
But in her self
I am using myself
As a portal so to speak
Into another world
She’s fought and avoided
She doesn’t get it
Yet
But she’ll see the bigger picture
Long after
I’ve planted the seed
And she’s moved on
The poor flower
Who didn’t know
She was a flower
The flower
That thought she was
Just another piece of grass
The flower that acted
Like a piece of grass
When she was meant for far greater things
The things of a flower
And all the happiness flowers bring
To the world
Not a blade of grass
One day
When she Loves herself
She’ll know happiness
And finally
Truly
Care for another’s Heart
And in doing so
Will know true happiness
Which we all know
Is:
True Love
