Sunflower

Different hues of light,

Telling me to stop and look

Like sunlight passing through the branches

Know that life is an array of emotions

I start to think if I was right

When I thought being happy was the goal

Grey is beautiful and so were times I deemed sad

For I found myself standing up without a stick

Entwined in despair I had lost track

Sullen, lonely and cursed 

Badgering myself as to why 

Never realizing that this could be a blessing in disguise

Peeping out of the self-proclaimed exile

I meet a version of me I had never met before

Like the sunflower, facing my adversity

Conquering my demons once and for all.
