The Flame 

Within each and every one of us burns a flame of creativity that can ignite things of wonder

Two Flowers

By: goatkidaka4788


You know that saying,


“Roses are Red,”


“Violets are Blue-“


Then people just put whatever sounds like a good saying?

 


You know those two flowers in Minecraft?


The Wither Rose and Cornflower?


What if I was the Wither Rose, Black,


And you were the Cornflower, Blue,

 


And what if I could make everything die?


Everything around me could die, but you


Would there be an explanation as to why?


No, we wouldn’t have a clue

 


Or maybe I do have a clue


Maybe it’s because Black and Blue


Are actually true


They are meant for each other,



like me and you


Maybe it’s like the same concept of how-


I lose everyone and everything


But it’s different now

 


Because I have you


And you’ve never left me


You’ve stuck around and did things-


That no one else would ever do


 

Or at least not for me


But you, you do so much for me


Despite my bad vibes,


You see the part of me that no one else sees-

 


Like the beauty in me?


That’s something people don’t see


They see my differences


They don’t know me


 

But you know me and let me be me


You look at me as more than just some flower


That can destroy things with all of my powers



You love me for who I am when I’m myself
