mental illness?

"socially constructed truth"

The very definition of Wikipedia.

As far as your poem goes you seem to have a monomaniacal obsession with this yellow flower be careful it doesn't end well for Ahab.

My monomaniacal obsession with yellow flowers ( I must have 20 or 30 poems that mention them)
comes directly from that wonderful poet, Pablo Neruda

__Ode to Some Yellow Flowers__ - Pablo Neruda (translated by Jodey Bateman)

Rolling its blues against another blue,
the sea, and against the sky
some yellow flowers.
October is on its way.
And although
the sea may well be important, with its unfolding
myths, its purpose and its risings,
when the gold of a single
yellow plant
explodes
in the sand
are bound
to the soil.
They flee the wide sea and its heavings.

We are dust and to dust return.
In the end we’re
neither air, nor fire, nor water,
just
dirt,
neither more nor less, just dirt,
and maybe
some yellow flowers.
