Blue Carnation



You‘re a mystery of bravery,
your blunt words doesn‘t scare me,
like how blue carnation doesn't have much history.

Ironically,
I admire you being genuine,
like how blue carnation symbolises purity.

Your presence makes me view life easier,
blue carnation evoke tranquility, and peace—
no wonder you around makes it calmer.

Your personality is a thing they don‘t know,
blue flowers is uniquely unknown,
no wonder they find you exceptional,
no wonder you can stand alone.

Hear me ones more,
like how you like blue—you are like them too.

Blue carnation is a rare in nature,
and you—are a fascination, with everything you own.
Don‘t ever seek for changes, 'cause honestly, you can carry it.
