The Sleeping Flower

The Sleeping Flower

Born in blood and raised in the dark.

To listen to the lonely lark

For flowers grow, but fade away

New buds will grow and die each day

We see beauty in their dying breaths

And morn their loss with many deaths

Why do they grow, when they know they'll fade?

They always fall for the price they paid.

Petals fly, and children cry

Let the sleeping flower lie.

For some pain demands to be felt

And It sits there while its feelings melt

Although no warmth reaches their roots

They have learned so much from this painful pursuit

For that is where their deepest fears lurk

The people laugh, they point, they even smirk

They don't realize that our hells are real

We've been cold and empty since you broke the seal.

Living lives of shattered glass

Waiting for their time to pass

Not realizing that we too, are those flowers

Living our lives in tears and showers

We are watered with hurt, to grow into strengths

What we've been through encourages us to go to great lengths

To build us up, and make us more

Repair our hearts from those who tore

Because we can't only be made of our flaws

There's more than whats been torn by claws

No longer can we wear the identity of broken

We keep it as a battle token

But we are not fallen heroes, because today we will stand

On top of the world for anyone who needs a helping hand

For we know how it feels to be crushed by the world

Our soul was stolen, our hearts were hurled

We fought our battle, and we fought our war

We've grown stronger, now our hearts soar

Proof of our struggle lays upon our bodies, littered with scars

We keep them to remember what we've been through, and we do, when we look to the stars.

There are many things that a dead body can symbolize, and you can see many of them. An end, defeat, war and even peace. It's strange how all these things can be born from something dead. Well done :)
