flower

She's watching the world go by and it hurts her eyes. The bright colours and the clarity of the sound astound her.

But still she turns away.

For Glimmer is a flower, with bruised petals and a broken stem, and phototropism is something she doesn't do, because the light will only bruise her and lessen her chance of survival. Glimmer shies away from the harsh screams of reality, and the stares of scorn aimed her way.

It is unknown what kind of flower Glimmer is, because she owns traits of a variety of different plants and weeds. Maybe a daffodil, because when she tries, she is bright and blinding; maybe a common weed, because she is ugly on the inside and the weed is ugly both ways; maybe, just maybe, a rose.

She's still watching the world go by, and this time it blinds her and burns her delicate petals. The sound, however, is muted, because she is now closed off, slowly, slowly, slowly.

But then she is hit by a sun. He's called Marvel and he opens up her bud and he makes her beautiful. He kisses her petals and caresses her bruises. He smiles against her stem and she grows and grows.

She blooms brightly, lighting up a room with the fierce yellows given to her by the sun. And the sun is a constant tattoo on her skin, and he keeps her alive with his warmth – searing and almost over-whelming, but she can take it.

She's a lone flower, not one to grow in a cluster, or to be picked as a background hum against clichéd pinks and purples, given as a silent apology to some business man's silly wife. She's the single flower in a field of grass, standing out against the monotony.

He's the sun, high up in the sky, burning, blazing, and slowly imploding. He's got a solar system revolving around him, but he wants a single lonely flower from a world full of them.

It was doomed form the beginning and now it's worse.

Have you ever seen a plant resist the force o n?

Me neither.

I hope this isn't too confusing.

If you need it explained, please ask, don't feel like an idiot (I normally do when I come across things like this, so I normally don't ask)
