Hibiscuses in Hibernation

For long I waited for my time,

For what I thought was mine,

Only to be pushed aside

Only to be denied

And I waited for my time,

waited fall and summer

And winter and springtime,

To wake me from my slumber

Thus, I waited in my gloom

For a small chance to bloom

To show off my colors

To show off my pride

And though the days passed

Though I hoped they'd last

To give me a chance

So I could get a glance

Of what I could be

Of what I could become

And just when I thought,

My time wouldn't come,

A door of possibilities opened

I was just a hibiscus in hibernation
