I Always Grew Back
I remember the first hand that tried to claim me
Pulling my roots from the earth
Tossing me to the ground
With no remorse
But those hands didn’t know
That within my leaves and petals
Were seeds
Those seeds were planted
And they grew back
And more feet stepped on the sprouts
And still they grew back
The seeds were still there
Because although you could hurt me
You could not claim me
I am the flowers that sprouted from the plant you tried to have as your own
You cannot get rid of me
Because I will keep growing back
