Sunflower

I am not a fragile flower
I am a sunflower
standing tall
head to the sun

He tried but did not destroy me
My stem may be broken
but I am
mending myself

I am not as weak as I thought
I have sun in me
fire burning
under my skin

His absence does not define me
I am deeply rooted in this earth
and I am
unlimited

I am not a fragile flower
I am a sunflower
and I will
regrow, rebloom
