Still a Flower
August 16, 2018
You don’t see me
as I lie limp—
just another crack on the sidewalk.
You pass by, stepping on me;
I’m crushed further.
This wasn’t what I wanted
when the wind blew me here.
You were supposed to rescue me.
I meant for your hand
to feel my petals.
Not for the hungry sole of your shoe.
You move on to others flowers.
And I miss my chance.
