you are a rose.

with both thorns and soft, red petals.

you are blooming.

Listen to that inner voice of yours.
Your Lighthouse.

Nothing ever grows
in
the
comfort zone.

I am not afraid to drown anymore
because I have learned how to swim

I am not scared to fall anymore
because I have learned to land
with both feet and hands if I need to

I have learned to adapt in new environments
after being stranded in barren lands

I am no longer weary of being alone
because I have made myself into a home
