yesterday, I befriended a flower,
and she's grown in an unlikely place.
she sprung up in a matter of days
as though she was competing in some kind of race.
despite all odds, she made her way to my window,
and ignored every instruction that flowers are given
when selecting a good spot to grow.
it feels almost like she saw me,
and couldn't bare to grow farther away,
maybe to show me that there is still colour,
in a life that is shrouded by grey.
yesterday I befriended a flower
for a moment it was all ok
and as long as she flourishes in a spot she shouldn't
I have decided to stay.
