Do you even know I exist?

Did you feel sad when I walked past you,
as if you didn’t even exist?

Did you feel happy when I stopped near you,
as if I knew you exist?

Did you laugh at me,
when I thought you were black?

Little purple flower,
Did you see the glisten in my eyes?
Did you see the dance of the child inside?

Oh little purple flower,
Do you even know I exist?
