I’m a hibiscus
a flower that will open up when the sun is present
and closes when the moon rises
I feel as though my sun
has never risen in my life
and the moon has been my closest friend
the darkness
I have waited all my life for a sun
for something that will help me bloom
and open up
only the sun will be able to see my beauty
and when it does
it will never want to leave
so I will wait
till the sun realizes the part that its been missing
and will come visit me
meanwhile
I will continue to befriend the moon
I will learn how to be beautiful in the dark
