She Cannot Decay
she was like a delicate daisy
picked apart by her petals
the wounds inflicted
because she chose to settle
what she thought was good
made her colors fade
a vibrant bright white
turned brown
then grey
but as she disappeared into the ground
she planted a seed that began to sprout
a new growth was born
a new chapter
a new life
her petals reborn into that vibrant white
but now she knows what soil keeps her strong
and which hands are right
and which hands are wrong
she’s makes sure she grows roots that are deep
so she can’t be uprooted
and thrown off her feet
she blooms new petals each and everyday
the once delicate daisy
can no longer decay
