Wildflower

WILDFLOWER


                   
     WILTED, MEEK
AND TIRED AS CAN BE
                   
           AWAITING
A DROP OF RAIN
                   
     I RAISE MY
PETALS TO FACE THE
SUN
                   
       I’M LIKE THEM
WE ARE THE SAME
                   
     YOU SEE ME HERE
BUT YOU DON’T CARE
                   
         YOU NEVER
PAY ME ANY MIND
                   
       BUT I STILL
RAISE MY PETALS TO
BLOOM
                   
       THOUGH I’M
NOT YOUR CHOSEN KIND
                 
ONE DAY I’LL GET
THAT DROP OF RAIN
POURED OUT FROM THE
SKY
                 
AND I WILL STRETCH
MY PETALS OUT
REGARDLESS OF THE
LIE
          THAT
SOMEHOW I AM LESS
THAN THOSE FLOWERS
YOU TEND SO MUCH
      I WILL
FLOURISH FROM THE
SKYS' PURE LOVE
WITHOUT YOUR GENTLE
TOUCH.
