When Nature Taught.. (Poem)

Roped with mixed emotions,
They consumed her slowly, 
Help her find peace, 
People chanted prayers around.

Blossomed the flowers she looked at,
Seconds passed, and she withered all the more,
Wept her soul unlike the buds;
Spring marked the vanishing of her smiles.

Scars crushed the beauty of her face,
As the sun rose high;
Darkness overshadowed the Summer's shine,
More she hated the acid for scalding her. 

Drops fell on her as she stood on road,
Her fear drenched each of her living moment,
Crystal her eyes, gazed at the dew,
A Rainy dawn awaited her transformation.

None but nature was doing the needful,
The teen began reminiscing the positives,
To shed the pain, she made moves,
Grow in dryness, she learned from Autumn.

Her lips curved crescent, when people shivered,
Embracing the cold; Winter melted her inner self,
Breeze left her with hopes and cheers,
The attackers hung, she began to live.

Spring was to arrive again, 
Chaotic sentiments were ready for calm flowering,
Unlike the symbolic significance,
Seasons taught her the opposite.
