Petals

Petals

Anonymous

They were treated like dainty flowers that couldn’t handle the rain.

Little did the others know they had endured a hurricane.

They take the rain on their beautiful petals, showing no sign of wear or tear

Get your hands dirty and you’ll see their roots have ripped apart.

And it is the field that keeps them standing, so outstandingly.

But they limit their own time.

There isn’t anything one can do to help with the storm.

They brace themselves for the worst of rains.

And when it comes they stand independently.

Only the field will keep them standing tall and strong
