My Dear Flower

Let me share a wish

My dear flower,
let me share a wish.
I hope to bloom and flourish
just like you did.

That no one
nips me in the bud, and
makes me drown;
in the thickness of my own blood.

Every victim would have someday hoped that their captor may have had a moment of humanity and spare their precious lives for once. Innocent lives are just cut short by perpetrators like they had no value. A life that could leave a beautiful imprint on the world before running its natural course. I hope humans stop killing each other, and subsequently killing the possibility of rendering this world a ray of new sunshine.
