Garden of Me
Flowers were planted here Beautiful and delicate I needed help to tend them I never learned to do it alone
When no one was there to help me Or when I pushed away others' hands Those beautiful flowers withered away and died
Weeds took their place Digging their roots deep into the earth Now that I finally see them there I can't seem to get them out
I know how to tend the garden now I'm trying to plant new flowers They struggle against the weeds Unable to blossom anymore
It's hard work to remove the weeds But little by little, I'm pulling them out I'll weed the garden of me Because I want to be beautiful like those flowers
And I know I'm worth it
