Flowers Within

I have been gripped by a fear that

I am missing

Exactly what I came to experience.

My words are my gift

But sometimes

Doubt fueled thoughts are louder than my voice

Inspiration outweighed

By these imagined inadequacies.

I have been learning

To laugh when I stumble

And lean into love

When I struggle

Because love, not judgment,

Sows the seeds of tranquility

And change.

And with that

The flowers

Within are

Oh so slowly

Starting to

Relax the tight grip

They had

On themselves

​
