You Light Up My World Poem by Kendra Renee

You Light Up My World



My flower was locked up in a maximum security prison
Cuz a flower can't bloom in a cage
My flower wasn't getting any care anyway out in the real world
It was cut down, fed poison, and left in the dark.
My flower's prison doesn't let visitors in
Last time my flower let a visitor in
It was cut down by verbal annihilation that made it feel like a little seedling again
Fed poison by narcissistic cavaliers
Who put themselves first and thought their fertilizer didn't stink
And left in the dark by a pathological liar whose only truth was that everything was a lie
while this thing called 'trust' just withered away until.......
a visitor sat outside it's cell
It gave my flower water and soil
This visitor has become my flower's sunlight
This is not just any sunlight,
this sunlight has beautiful light brown eyes
that peer into the receptacle of my flower
It also has a smile that makes my flower weak in the stems
When we're face to face with our noses touching
or after it kisses me and its lips turn into Pepto-Bismol pink
Making me just want to kiss them more
Every song that comes on the radio MUST have some secret Illuminati message
in it because they remind me of my sunlight
All romance scenes in shows and movies are encrypted with an image of my sunlight and I
When I soak in my sunlight the discs in my chloroplasts do more flips than Gabby Douglass
My sunlight makes me laugh I mean he literally makes me laugh my petals off
When I immerse myself in my sunlight it wraps its arms around me and makes me feel safe
So now my flower's out on parole,
but since it's been in prison before
it'll do anything in its power to NEVER get back there again.
