petals

like a flower in a garden

I am alone,

although I'm surrounded

by others just like me.

my petals are weak and withering,

but I still try and stand up straight,

just to be woken up by the sun

and be sung to sleep by the moon.

to show other flowers like me

that I can stay

and try again every day,

although I'm falling appart,

is enough for me to go on.
