“The Growing Flower”

A poem…



How is it possible to love rain

When the storms swallow me

making me drown, lost at sea

using up all my strength

Broken and tired and weak


But I remember the promise

After the rain comes sun

And there will always

be a rainbow


A rainbow to bring life

back to a dead heart

joy back to a sorrowful girl

Peace back to a fearful mind


And maybe that will change it all

Change the pain

that starves your soul

Break down all the giant walls

That are holding you back

from being whole

from being the real you


Not pretending like your

alright when you’re not

like your different then you really are

Even if all you have left

are your scars

There is beauty

in all your broken pieces


You're not gone too far

For true happiness will find you,

despite the storm

Let go of past hurt and

all you've been holding inside

Because there is more


More to your journey

That you have strongly traveled on

More to your story

that's not finished writing

more to your mountain

that you have to keep climbing

More to your painting

to become your masterpiece

More to become the flower

you are flourishing into


Maybe a little rain isn't the end,

The end to your happily ever after

But a start that will bring

joy and laughter

The fight to keep staying alive


Because flowers can't survive

without rain, can't blossom

can't grow any stronger

So when the rain starts pouring

You can choose to give up

or rise above it all


It's okay to not be okay

It's okay if you fall

Because you're getting better

Growing and soaring

Flying the best you can

And that's enough


The storm that's crashing down

may be rough

The struggles you're facing

may be too much

But that's what shapes

the person you are


Like the millions of stars

All the thousands of flowers

Each one different than the other

But loved the way they are


For you are loved as you are now

No matter the choices you've made

or the battles you're faced

You are enough, brave, strong


I hope you remember that

and I hope you know

you are a beautiful flower

that will continue to grow.
