Beautiful lotus... I wish they could see, All the potential you have and the things that you could be. Everything you imagined in your wildest dreams... Beautiful lotus, how I wish they could see. They love your Florescent petals so they pick you apart… unaware of the internal damage this causes to your heart. I guess its called "Tough Love" but they are stripping your art. Beatuiful Lotus, taking blows so harsh.. You should be a beautiful diamond considering all the pressure you've been through, Such a precious gem with dark, ugly roots… Faced with adversity and Plagued by deception… Still finding your way to see it through. A world so cold and ugly has created something so beautiful. Bloom Lotus bloom, Even in the heart of June. Shine lotus shine, even in the light of the Moon... Never let anything in this world make you leave it too soon. You have so many things that you need to see. Beautiful lotus... My sweet sweet lotus, Just set yourself free. And reach for the Heights they told you you would never see.
-Ari B.
