I am a desert flower.
I bud and bloom in the dryest and darkest of places.
I will find a way.
I thrive in cold or extreme heat.
No sun damage for something so sweet.
The moon illuminates the obstacles in my way.
He was always keeping me in check.
I no longer flirt with death.
In the solitude is where I am blessed.
All my colors bleed into your subconsciousness.
I have trained with the best.
In the darkness is where you thought you had me.
Secluded and alone, but like a desert flower, I continue to grow.
The night wouldn’t last forever, and the sun began to shine.
Now I am feeling just fine.
The desert wasn’t the hell you hoped it would be.
It was a place where all the bad was stripped from me.
Though I mourned my former self I finally saw how much it helped.
Finally, my cells can breathe, and my soul is free.
I am a desert flower.
I am determined to grow.
In the face of adversity, I found I was never alone.
