    New Flowers

    Another year down this road
    In many ways I’ve grown
    Spontaneity, once my greatest fear
    A trip into the unknown

    I’ll stop seeing my body as a prison
    A cage that I can’t escape
    For this “prison” has fought many fights
    And is still fighting until this day

    I’ll view the world with a little less fear
    And give open doors a chance
    Tomorrow isn’t promised
    So I’ll make every moment last

    I’ll tend to my own garden
    Watering the field in which I lay
    No more searching for greener pastures
    Just staying in my lane

    The spring will bring new flowers
    The weeds may still arise
    I’ll nip all problems in the bud
    I’ll no longer keep them inside

    I’ll be a better person
    I’ll learn from my mistakes
    I’m not as lost as I once was
    Maybe this year I will find my way

    • Wow Wow Wow! This is an amazing piece. I love the ending. It is really one of those mic-drop endings. I really think this year will be the year you find your way but just by reading this I have a feeling you’re already on your way to wherever you want to go in life. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being such a special part of our Unsealed community. <3 Lauren
