Drifting Petal


Dreaming of a better day to come along, I
Reach out to taste this bittersweet life, I
Instigate the fruitfulness of my own self-consciousness
Feeling nothing from what has been
Taken from the inside
Whatever has been seen in me
Or has been opened up in me, I have
Over-rated, I have
Driven away, I am a
Rose in many ways
Offering help to other
Self-consciousnesses
Even those who hurt less than me
