Invaded Confidence


In this field I grew Amaryllis

Then the conceited creature ravaged the buds

Where I must try to regrow the fleur once resilient

Once a character that had planted false Arborcitae here

When in reality it had grown to be a grand Narcissus

The mark of the fiend that had frollicked in other nurseries
