The Gilded Lily
I sometimes ponder to why some flowers
light up like the sun?
Every soul is a tulips or roses,
But why am I a catkin?
I felt like I was in a garden of aesthetic,
Instead of the willow tree.
Everyone talks in an alluvium way,
While I speak in conceit euphemism.
I wonder if I can contain a core
that wells up words like them.
I perform orison to the empyrean:
“Let me shed into something luminous”
But I ended up being swallowed by a murky pond,
Where I started to submerge in despondency.
“I’ll soon bloom into a gilded lily,”
I enunciate as I prostrate towards the lucent labyrinth.

This poem is about how I feel out of place most of the time, and how I can't bloom into something simple, where others could bloom casually without doubting themselves.
