FLOWER

It's hard to know

That silence is your time to grow

As I sit and stare

And can't seem to bare

The quiet sound

And the walls that surround

But when the light

comes through

And we can see

It's then we now see the reasons

For the still season

But by no means will I take from the pain

That you endured to grow

The empathy that is needed

Is the water to your soul

The one that stands by your sadness

and allows you to cry

Is the one that understands

And in the end the one

That helped you bloom

Like the flower. That you are.
