Shine

I saw a flower today
Perfect
Beautiful
Poking up
Through dead leaves
This tiny, beautiful place
Surrounded by what
Isn't beautiful at all
Like your soul
You survived
A dark and horrible place
Your light is so bright
Perfectly amazing
You've overcome so much
And you shine
So glad you made it
We need to help
Each other
So no one's light is lost
