white flower

oh my, a white flower.

pale as snow and oh so pure

that even the devils cower

is it a cure?

distaste in my mouth

how can something be so innocent

when my whole life is going south

not a sliver of thing decent

I didn't flinch

as I crush the flower with my foot

maybe I'm a Grinch

pessimistic to the root

I felt its petals grinding

turning into powder

consumed by a rage so blinding

that it makes me wonder

what have I become

...?
