Bloom

Constantly blooming

Everyone around me screams
At the top of their strong lungs
"You're changing"
Every heart around me
Is blinded by who I used to be
(like the flowers of last spring)
What they fail to see:
Changing is blooming
And the act of blooming is beautiful

Emerging
Something new
Stronger than the spring before
My ample mind
Must not stay so kind
For I was hurt
Time and time again

I am the new flower
Embracing a new power
To those who know me well:
Spring is here
Change is ever near
When you glance in my direction
Do not look down
And for me, please don't fear

Judge yourself first
