There is a flower in my chest
Where the ribs meet
I smell the aroma when I breathe
Its fragrance makes me feel safe
The roots have grown into my bones
And we've become one
Every now and then a leaf or a petal appears
Finally letting me catch a glimpse of what I'm growing
The petals are the size of a sunflower’s
It's almost an orange sunset in my hands with flecks of gold
When I look at stray petals I feel more at home
