Image for the poem A Flower

A Flower's Bloom

A black rose arose from the soil of its mother's womb
Determined to survive and thrive in a world that's cruel
As its petals began to bloom, rising towards the Sun
Others tried to steal its joy like a robber with a gun

Dark clouds for miles started to dim the light
With perseverance determinates it began to fight
Using all of its might, it refused to let itself wilt
Standing tall through it all like a clown on stilts

It was built to battle against those seeking chattel
Beating the odds it worked hard to avoid being rattled
Its petals managed to get damaged by the many storms
But they nourished its roots and helped it grow strong
