If I were a flower
I wouldn’t pick myself
I’d let myself grow into full bloom
I’d keep reaching for the light
Even in dark spaces
I’d learn to accept the water
The universe gave me
Because I once almost drowned in it
Thinking I wasn’t worthy of such nourishing elements
My roots would stay firmly in the ground because
He has picked me up from an unstable place and planted me again.
I’m solid. I am safe
If I were a flower
I’d learn not to be scared of the wind
Because somebody needs a whiff of my truth
So they can go blossom and inspire too
I wouldn’t be afraid to bloom
Knowing we all have this space for us too
There can never be too many beauties
You are not more beautiful than I, nor am I more beautiful than you
Because together we make the most phenomenal backdrops in amazing hues
If I were a flower
I’d make sure to bloom meaningfully
Because I was planted here for a reason
More than to live simply
