I may start to wilt.

I may shake.

I may bend.

But I will not break,

Petal by petal, I will find strength

to wish my worries and doubts away.

Azalea burns when I feel brave,

Begonia hides what I can't say.

Camellia quiets storms inside,

Daffodils bloom when I don't cry.

Edelweiss—so rare, so still,

Freesia’s light when I lose will.

Gardenia dreams in midnight skies,

Hyacinth holds my softest sighs.

Each petal is a whisper, a memory, a flame—

A feeling in bloom, never quite the same.

Petal by petal, I rise again,

Twisting through storms, dancing in rain.

Fear may find me, doubt may stay,

But I still bloom in my own way.

Iris stands when I feel small,

Jasmine knows when teardrops fall.

Kalmia shields me when I fear,

Lilac hums when love feels near.

Marigold glows when I'm unseen,

Narcissus stings where I have been.

Orchid dances through my doubt,

Peony opens when I break out.

Petal by petal, I rise again,

Twisting through storms, dancing in rain.

Fear may find me, doubt may stay,

But I still bloom in my own way.

I may seem fragile

But my roots run deep

They hold me steady

When the storm won't sleep

Petal by petal, I rise through the fear

Soft doesn't mean weak, I'm still here

Queen Anne’s Lace when I lose grace,

Ranunculus runs at a softer pace.

Snapdragon snaps when I defend,

Tulip trusts—it always bends.

Ulex blooms through hardest lands,

Verbena soothes with gentle hands.

Wisteria weeps what I don’t say,

Xeranthemum—still strong when grey.

Petal by petal, I rise again,

Twisting through storms, dancing in rain.

Fear may find me, doubt may stay,

But I still bloom in my own way.

Yarrow heals what I can't name,

Zinnia stays through joy and pain.

Even when the petals fall—

I bloom again. I bloom through it all.

I may bend... but I will not break.

My petals may fade, but valiant I stay.

I stay
