Iris

Who I am? Am I a flower, a butterfly, or a demon?
Should I no longer be concerned about this world?
I am a blooming flower that wants to
someday change back into a flower bud.
I am the byproduct of a wither culture,
the flower bud of a demon.
I am an Iris; deep and mysterious.
I am the eternal promise of renewal, rebirth, and the
transformation of monotony into delight.
I am the symbolic representation of wisdom, faith, hope,
commitment, and eloquence. However, as a flower
I must scatter away at some point.
Abandon the protective stem, and face my destiny.
Abandon the conservative environment that controls and
restricts my thinking;
that chains me down to a dyed crimson soil.
