An Ugly flower Blooms - Brielle Bautista
An Ugly flower Blooms - Brielle Bautista
The ugly flower
One starry rainy night
The stars shimmered all across the sky
The ugly flower looks so devoured
She looks so sad straining to discover the hidden water
One starry rainy night
Rain on her dark pink sad petals
At that moment the ugly flower blooms slowly and swiftly
Her petals become bright like the shimmery stars
The ugly flower blooms
Once was ugly then set off like the star of the night
An ugly flower blooms
