- Friends on the Inside
AND STILL I BLOOM...
Updated: Jan 21, 2022

I am from the earth I am from the stars I am a fragile flower My sun kissed petals are devastatingly crushed by nature's raging fists And still I bloom... I envy the sun as I bask in its radiance I admire the moon that offers light in a night's sky I easily inhale such little pleasures with such great pain I breathe although I fear each breath is driving me more and more insane And still I breathe... And I... And I believe, although even on my knees I tremble And I cry, even when I do not know the reasons why And I pray, opening my hbeart in gratitude for another day And smile, with hope in my heart and stars in my eyes, I'll be happy awhile. -Koi
