It was first a seed,
rooted deeply beneath the ground.
It fights its way up, not giving up,
reaching to the end of the tunnel,
and finally sprouting out.
It had finally found the light that it had longed to discover.

But even then, it never stopped its journey.
Fluttering some greens, and different shades of white, and tiny flecks of yellow,
it grew out to be something beautiful, creating its own individual.

It captured the eyes of many, yet was still taken for granted.
And so eventually it was forced out of its so called strong foundation.

Even when it had lost its life and breathed its last,
it was still taken for granted.
Tossed around from side to side until eventually it was chucked away.

Unwanted and abandoned it lay,
in the dark, dark ground it was under once before.
