I remember when,
you were just a bossom,
and no one cared,
for no one believed,
that this blossom could succeed.
Beautiful flower,
you were so patient and diligent,
mingling with mayhem,
and still you grew
beyond their expectations.
People always see,
your soft outer beauty
untouched by the trials,
but they do not see,
how long you have tried.
Beautiful flower,
your life is not over
in fact it has only begun
if only you could see
the potential lying
in front of the firmly planted stems
that you use to feel as though
you have all the answers.
Spring shall bring
you growth and a climb to prosperity;
All I can do is laugh,
and smile at you,
because I saw your success,
all along.
Beautiful flower,
trust in me,
the way I trust in you,
believe in yourself
with perceptions,
that would help others truly perceive your
gifts,
talents,
and potential.
Beautiful flower,
don't give up yet,
it's a brand new season
with a brand new reason
to shine your colors
in ways they've never shown before.
Beautiful fkower,
your nectar tastes so sweet,
your smell takes me in,
but can you use your delicate roots,
can you plant yourself
in your own perceived place of prosper.
Beautiful flower,
I will be patiently waiting
I will be anticipating
looking with tenderness in my eyes
because I see through your disguise.
because the only one
preventing you from growing large,
is YOU.
Author notes
Title inspired by the Default song.
I just wanted to start writing and run with my mind; This is what I produced. It's very natural, like a flower.
This could be a poem from many perspectives, a father to child, between 2 lovers, or merely between friends. A piece of inspiration encouraging the flower to move further, of course with tenderness and tough love.
A different spin on the idea.
Hope you enjoy,
BC.

Brandon, I can't really find the words for this. Full of emotion and definately something that everyone should read. This is, yet another, wonderful write by you. There is no doubt in my mind about that. I just come to wonder why haven't I read this before now.
Absolutely terrific job, love. I hope that life itself, you can and will always conquer.
Take care, B. C.,
always,
Sarah

Your words here are delicate and flowing, which works amazingly well for the piece. For a blind guy, you do a bang up job with imagery. If I had something constructive to say, I would certainly say it but nothing really comes to mind except excellent job. And I mean it.

Or the self
I think that this poem could easily be just a reminder to oneself to become something beautiful despite all the hardships of life. I really enjoyed reading it and contemplating it's nuances. The only thing you should fix is the little booboo in the middle where you write "fkower" and don't put the line break between stanzas. Good work, great reading.

you should put together a book of inspiration. That to me is what your writing style entails.

Inspiring peice of art. you have crafted a beautiful piece of work. i found my self becoming lost in-between the lines. i think the anology of a flower growing, struggling to represent someone is an amazing idea.
Thank you for brightening up my day with your wonderful piece.
live, love, learn

Very beautiful! It almost seems like you are describing a person, instead of a flower...maybe that is what you wanted the reader to see! I like this alot!!!

This is so lovely and encouraging to the flower. If only it was a real woman, she would be so lucky. Great poem and good job on the prompt too. Good luck in the contest.

Aww I loved this Bc! Its beautiful. I really took this to heart though. Ive been trying to figure alot out lately and im not doing all that well lol. My friends are here for me though and trying to help me see whats up. I guess I just dont wanna let myself move on. I can whenever i want to, ive proven that but I wont let myself. Imnot sure why but oh well. Im getting there. Great job I love it!

Believe me, you are not alone in your transitions. Change is a very scarry thing, sailing life's ship in a new diection is hard to iagine. It's the uncertainty and future, thee is nothing anyone can really say at this point and all we can do is be by your side throughout this transition.
I think you will come to find that once you make this transition, you will feel better about yourself and life.
Thanks for the read,
BC.
