Flowers
I had once been a flower,
planted neatly in the ground.
But the wind, rain, and hail;
they continued to wear me down.
My petals were all gone,
the storm made them go away.
I decided to shed my colors,
there was no reason for them to stay.
I had become a blade of grass,
in a field of a thousand flowers
collecting sorrow and sadness in me,
becoming more suffocated every hour.
I needed someone special,
to come and calm the storm.
I needed another broken flower,
with a heart that had been worn.
You were the someone I needed,
you brought a change in heart.
You helped me see love in everything,
instead of tearing me apart.
I was no longer a blade of grass
hidden in my mind's darkest hour,
I was a bright and beautiful daisy,
in a field of a thousand sunflowers.
