THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
A tiny little flower,
A tiny little creature
It was a beautiful flower
Beautiful,
But perhaps, not 'pretty'
Faces showcase prettiness,
And not beauty,
So she felt like hiding her face
Because the queen of the night
Is pitch black
I saw it bloom,
And I saw it wilt,
Because I watched it grow
And so I said to her,
“Don't you crumble just yet,
Even wilting is a part of growing”
And these flowers,
Such a mysterious thing
Roses have thorns
And the queen of the night
Is pitch black
But a black flower
Is the most beautiful flower
And even the queen of the night
Requires the full sun to grow
“Let in a little sunshine,
Perhaps, you will find angels,
Waiting for you
Waiting to admire you."
Because even the darkest flower
Is the queen of the night.

I’ve tried to link feminism with anti-racism, and the Black Lives Matter movement in particular. Lately, I’ve been feeling strongly about the fact that you can find beauty in whatever you look at, and to appreciate and love yourself is to truly know your own self. Hope you like the poem!
