***

I am an epitome of the past,

Bundled with beauty and battle scars,

Showered with salt and ash,

Only to bloom for the sake of survival,

To withstand their eyes of scrutiny,

Blossoming from love and water,

And a little bit of sunshine after rains,

I am but a small speck of dust,

In a world full of much more bigger things,

But I am also a survivor,

A survivor of pain and trauma,

The outcome of stars and oblivion.
