I was the only one on my knees praying for something better than right now. I was searching for me, trying to figure out how this caged girl can be free. I finally escaped out of the crowd of fear and disbelief and I found myself. I started off as roots and I bloomed into a flower. My petals hold power and my stem no longer slugs. No matter how hard a person tries to rip me out of the ground I refuse to ever wilt again.
