Wildflower

In a place where people had grown weary

Where people forgot just how to curtsy

In eloquence, you have grown to be

That one wildflower we rarely see

In a time when turmoil's from within

And pain slithers beneath our skin

Your scars have left you with nothing more

But courage, dear child, and the hopes to soar

In people who have failed to live

You have taught them just how to believe

That dreams are not meant only for sleep

And beauty was a thing - bone-deep

Your tears, the Earth have washed its grime

You were the reason poems had a rhyme

You've freed the world from its self-built cage

You have grown beyond your age
