Once shrouded by you,

I began to grow towards the light. 

My face turned towards soft sun

And chlorophyll filled my veins once more. 

Blossoming!

My renewed stalks bursting

Through your concrete tide. 

Buds blooming amidst a sea of grey.

No more will your thorns entangle me!

I have spent long enough

Stifled. 

It is time to feel the sun.
