Dirt.

My grandmother once said
That every flower has to go through dirt,
And that in times of suffering to never give up
Because eventually I would become
A strong and beautiful flower,
Standing on my own.

-I've started to think
That these struggles might never turn me into a beautiful flower.
All my life I've only seen good things happen,
To other people.

Maybe I'm not supposed to be a flower,
Maybe I'm not even a seed.
Maybe I'm just,
Dirt.

-Josephin August
i am so 
sorry
that everytime i open my mouth
it is not roses that
come pouring out
but blood; and
you think i would learn
to keep my lips shut to avoid
the embarrassment, but
the only thing i have realized
is that no one will love you
when you have bloodstains
on your clothes



 
l.s.

Then came the king's son, wounded, sore bestead,
And weaponless, and saw the broken sword,
Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand,
And ran and snatched it, and with battle shout
Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down,
And saved a great cause that heroic day.

— Edward Rowland Sill
