“Alone in despair

Drenched in sweat
I opened my eyes

I deserve to die
I checked my phone
No one to call
I am a burden
I deserve to crawl”

“Not everyone will like you
One day, you find a yellow orchid in your room
But you don't like orchids
A week later, the orchid starts flourishing
But you still don't like orchids
Two weeks later, you notice a golden reflection on its surface
You start disliking the orchid a little less
A month later, you bow to the orchid
For despite your dislike the orchid kept flourishing
And just like the orchid not everyone is going to like you
But as you continue flourishing many will admire you”
