Flowering Soul

Why did I let them stop me?

Did their words ring in my heart

So loudly that I fell apart.

Their words were negative and unflattering

But I should have been stronger.

My heart is really all that matters.

Did their words really mean that much to me?

Did they really have that much power?

Why did I let them deflower my power?

Did I feel they were better than me?

It really does not matter.

I have healed old wounds

That I have let bloom in the past.

My words will be heard

As they are the power of my soul.

I have changed.

I have become brave and bold.

I will not let anyone stop my flowering soul.
