My body is like a garden With lavender sprouting from my hair And roses adorning my thighs Daisies growing upson my stomach Sunflower stems for legs Orchids for eyes You admire from a distance You walk up and take in my scent Sweet yet strong All summer you treat me like a prize Then fall and winter come like a train Fast and unstoppable I then become an inconvenience The lavender you once caressed you now tear from my head The roses which you once admired you now cut like a cancer The daisies that you once loved so dearly you now hack away at like a dead tree The sunflower stems that held me high you pull away like weeds And the orchids That held my soul The ones that once held your love you now smash like a window in a brutal storm Despite your abuse I will grow again I will come back stronger and wiser I will come back next year better than I ever was
I will rise
