A flower of hope and despair

Beauty can be found both in happiness and despair

This flower blooming within my soul's

darkest and most cruel places,

struggles to find a way and starting

from a simple, small and weak seed,

becomes a proud bud, high and mighty in every form.

Sadness waters it, just to help hope make it blossom.

Tears are its drink but my smile becomes its scent.

Rose petals painted red,

made from every time I let my blood to run,

are still so serene while moving in the wind's blow,

each time blissfulness makes them travel.

And now, looking it from afar,

this flower

that inside me blooms from both sorrow and happiness,

makes me a lot more beautiful

Author's Note

I tried to create a picture of being happy and sad, while parallising it with a flower, struggling to bloom. What do you think of it?
