Garden of Weeds
Beautiful flower amongst a garden of weeds
Often ridiculed for having a heart that bleeds
Seeds feeding the rest, it refuses to consume
The vivid colors of Spring, its trying to exhume
Daily gloom & doom causes its petals to wilt
As it yearns for the Sun that's taller than Wilt
Higher than steel stilts built to help it to rise
May's clouds of dismay hides it from its eyes
Disguised by veils of darkness during storms
Contemplations of transitions becoming norms
Yet it will not conform, while using the pain of the rain
To aid in its growth despite of growing disdain
It doesn't feign immunity from life's destruction
As it reigns, it transparently tells tales of depression
Using poetic expression to convey its struggles
Learning to persevere while planted in the jungles
