Depression sheds my skin and I'm left with a body of roots and flowers
My hair is the leaves that grow abundantly
And my feet are rooted in place
I continue to grow inside of myself
And dance into a willow
The breeze catches me and I'm just swaying
And he calls me beautiful every day
And he waters me,
Sometimes walks away
But he always comes back with cooler water
And I always grow taller
Soon I will transform and a bird will crack open from my roots and I
Will
Soar
I took a chance at something
I'm thriving in the process
Regret fills my brittle bones
But the warmth of my blood makes me strong again
No more downfalls
It's all up from here
And I'm smiling all the way up
I forgot there were clouds up above
I'm rooted
In brown eyes and alibies and smiley summer nights
My bones sounded like the crunching of chips
But now they feel like the hot summer day
Simmer down,
I'm happy
The sun has a smile again
And now I'm not crying again
But I'm soaring
And his lips feel like liquid gold
