Gardens

When a flower doesn't sprout, it's easy to want to dig it up and start over.
It might be dead, or maybe it's too weak to grow, but it is important to remember:
growth takes time.
Some flowers are late bloomers,
Some need to be cut and pruned to thrive.
Not all flowers grow in the same conditions, but that doesn't make one flower better than another. 
Because at some point, they all bloom,
and they are beautiful if you have the patience. 
Care for your flowers.
Let them grow.
Watch their beauty bloom, as yours will too.

Oh how meaningful this poem is, I’m sobbing. It just said everything I wanna tell myself whenever I’m feeling down, and can’t find the words to express it.
