The Lone Flower

You may appear out of nowhere;
you’ll be allowed to break the layers of green sepal,
Gently blossom and kiss the sun.
You may spread vibrancy and fill lives with ecstasy.
You will become brighter through rains and
Flutter each day in the mildness of the gentle breeze;
YOU, lone flower!

Remember though, the storm is not far away
and when it comes, you will initially toss;
You’ll try to stand with head upright.
But one day, you will be plucked away from where you belong,
torn apart and trampled upon.

Remember then, you aren't the lone flower you thought you were;
You weren't meant to survive the storm
You've just walked through a raging fire
You were burnt completely; to ashes
Remember then, to rise
like the Phoenix were YOU!
