I am still the forget-me-not on the far wall
A marigold in the back row
A single sunflower in the corner of the yard
I have not yet become all
the flowers I want but
Rest assured I still am one.

This was supposed to be much longer, a much longer piece on a life of being a wallflower but I loved it just like this. Here is to all the flowers, thank God for that.
