How a Flower Lives

Thu, 03/17/2016 - 10:07 -- zari.

I always wanted to put myself in a flower's position; its point of view of life.
Through the process of evolving over time in the midst of sunshine before the horizon of sunset.
To feel free in the wind and still grow effortlessly under pure conditions.
To be watered maturely and glow with beauty to its natural extent.
How it has the chance to breathe freshly everyday.
And the roots of its labor filling in the body of Earth soiled to protect its insides for growth.
How a flower has no worries, to attempt nature in the spring time, only to prepare for winter to die beautifully.
I always wanted.
I always wanted to blossom and open up to the world with no hesitation, neglect any fear of rejection or unacceptance, I always wanted to feel the breeze through my skin and feel free; fly away from a world that's keeping me from me and become released from toxins of society and finally breathe.
I just want to breathe clearly and naturally, I don't want to hold my breath, trying to hide the bubble of my being from being seen.
I just want to grow organicly.
Bloom naturally from the soft soil of my roots and bloom incredibly.
Create a home in me that's been lost for years, like how a flower creates a home within itself as it grows from its watered roots and from a sun up above.
Up above, can my soul uplift into me?
The me that once was.
I always wanted to be in the position of a flower, carrying itself so nicely without drowning painfully.
