the moment the sun came up,
i started wasting my time,
i grabbed my
needle and thread
and started to
patch my ugly skin
that was destroyed
by my own claws.

in noon time,
exactly twelve,
i undressed myself
and roamed my eyes
in my imperfections,
then embrace them
and whispered that
i am sorry for unloving her before.

at night,
after having my meal
with my loving family,
i tried to drown myself again
but gone was the harshness,
i drowned myself
in love, in care, and in affection
which i never gave before.

then midnight,
i was asked about the things
i did the whole day
and i answered,

“there's really nothing unusual today,
i just planted flowers in a wrecked garden,
sang for them,
loved them,
and waited until they bloom.”

“did they bloom immediately?” he asked,

“no, but i will for that beautiful day.”

i will wait for my day.
