Dandelion

Dandelion

A Poem by Luna

Ripe rice bowed its head

I'm not ripe yet, but I'm bowing my head

Whoever bent it, with a slightly bent neck,

maybe I broke it

Among the roses and lilies and tulips, I became a dandelion full of desires to raise my head to look pretty.

Comparing me with splendour, I find unhappy moments regularly.

I was also the most beautiful among the grasses without flowers.


I still have to run

I already remember standing at the starting line

I vaguely remember starting with a gunshot.

I'm sure I'll be first and come back

I remember starting


I think now

I think I closed my eyes back then

I close my eyes so tightly that I can't see the obstacles in front of me

I guess I just ran

Even if I fall, stretch, get hurt, bleed, and have bruises

I never know what I was that excited about

I don't know if I was sick, I guess I just ran


After running for a while, I felt so tired

I opened my eyes

Now I can see the obstacles in front of me so well

I want to close my eyes again and just pretend like I don't know the obstacles and push them away


But, If you don't open your eyes

I have to hurt more

Maybe I could touch the white line at my waist

Raise your hands saying hurray

However, before the happy moment comes

I know better than anyone that I might fall before the end

So, now I open my eyes and decided to run


Overcoming obstacles is not easy

While knowing how to get over obstacles,

while going slow,

everyone runs past me


But, even though I am exhausted,

Yet I must run

run and run and run again

I have to run
