I fear that unlike my peers,
Friends,family and those dear
I'll always remain dormant
Like a small pool stagnant
In my development
Those that came before me
Blossomed,and those that followed
Were and are majestic in their fullest
I have created my domain
But how real is it?
I have shunned myself
But has the world also?
I look and I judge
Does everyone else do so?
I believe or think I do
But is it worth it
I smile to suppress it
Suppress my true feelings
And while at it hide my true beauty
I bathe,work and am dependable
But why do I feel filthy
I feel your presence
But I'm all here alone
Is it my imagination
Or maybe karma and this is penance
In my cocoon I lay alone
Shut from the world
I shall atone
To my surprise
A sad sad song
Meant for one
Who isn't I
I crack open
And stretch myself
Blinded by the beauty surround
To my surprise
I'm not alone
A monarch I am
My wings I spread
I shed tears, tears of joy
If only I had known my love,
My beauty and my joy
Were all within.
