"You are not a delicate, small, fragile, made-of-glass-and-emotions
Flower.
You are
the strong stalk that carries the burden of life,
You are the leaves that nourish
You are indomitable roots
that reach so far deep into the earth,
it is impossible to discern where you end and earth begins.
And yes,
You have flowers, you have beauty
But you were not made only to be watched;
You were made to grow and kiss the skies."

-B. Damani
