a flower once told me of its beauty:
stagnant, alive, vibrant and engulfing.
it had said that its color was heavy,
and the world was meant to keep it living.
but then i met them.
their face shouted despair into this world:
stagnant, alive, vibrant and engulfing.
and i understood them without demands.
color is heavy; the world wants their life.
but then i met myself.
and i took both sides: confidence and sadness.
i am not stagnant, though i am alive.
and i am vibrant but i will not engulf anything.
and color is heavy; but the world lives with or without me.
