Open Like a Flower

I'm open like a flower

I'm new to this world.

I see with my eyes

A blank canvas to cover.

My petals unfurl

To say my goodbyes .

Pushing through and out of the dirt

Was a difficult task for me.

Couldn't believe what I would learn,

Coming out, what It could mean.

I felt so much stress and hurt,

Had no clue what I could see.

I'm open like a flower

I'm new to this world.

I see with my eyes

A blank canvas to cover.

My petals unfurl

To say my goodbyes.

Now with my head above the ground,

I feel the open space there is.

Wind engulfs me all around.

Underground, I do not miss.

A little bud I have found

Will yawn soon with genteelness.

I'm open like a flower

I'm new to this world.

I see with my eyes

A blank canvas to cover.

My petals unfurl

To say my goodbyes.

All my petals have now opened.

I taste and enjoy the sunlight.

I no longer have to pretend

or try with all of my might

Because I have reached the end.

I receive and see the light.

There's nowhere left for me to go...

That is, unless I fall apart,

Make way for another to start low...

Suppose I must play my part.

All my petals fall below,

Decompose as new life starts.

I'm open like a flower

I'm new to this world.

I see with my eyes

A blank canvas to cover.

My petals unfurl

To say my goodbyes.

I wouldn't change a thing. It felt very sweet and comforting to me. I love comparing humanity to nature. It's kinda my thing :)
