I was enthralled by the dazzling sight
His vibrant hues basking on an ethereal light
He is a blooming sunflower, so bold and bright,
A presence that fills my world with delight.

But as days pass by, admiration turns to despair
I am always there but he doesn't seem to care
To me, he has no glance to spare
As if my existence is just like that of air.

Indeed a sunflower, steadfast and true,
A devoted seeker of the sun's warm hue
From dawn's first light, 'til twilight's farewell,
He ceaselessly chases the sun's radiant trail.

Tried to capture his gaze with graceful flight
With wings adorned in colors, so vivid and bright
But his gaze never wavered from the sun's allure
Leaving my little heart with so much pain to endure.

So I continue to flutter in life's fleeting dance,
Relentlessly seeking love's sweet romance
For one day, destiny's garden may bestow,
A sunflower's love where our hearts will glow.

After you and I
This heart won't open up again
Besides, who would ever want someone like me?
No one.

When I say
that you are my Sun,
I don’t mean that you are
Luminous,
Brilliant,
Gilded,
Beautiful,
Bold,
Warm,
Or even the center of my universe.
I simply mean that
I cannot look at you
Without hurting

"Put on your lipstick sweetie, the pink shade will do
Apply some eyeshadow in an enticing hue,
Your hair must be done in a fabulous curl
Then wear these expensive, snow white pearls.
You're now dressed up like a real princess, dear
Smile to the people as they wave and cheer
Keep your regal stance as you walk straight
Hands on your side, you look so great.
Look at the camera and beam cheerfully
Maintain your poise as you talk softly..."

As the light flashes, a thought crossed my mind,
I suddenly want to leave all of these behind
For this is not who I am or what I want to be
And this is not definitely the real me.
Smudged all the lipstick off, dropped the jewelry down
Pulled my hair and tied it in a messy bun
I stood there, chin up and proud
Then I silently walked away from the crowd.

Those sweet white lies
offered a feeling so nice
I drowned, I cannot rise,
and pain was the prize.
