There, Within

Pop64

Not all flowers bloom

Beneath branches of the biggest trees

Despite the sun struggling through the canopy

They’re forever shadowed by the leaves

Yet they continue to fight steadily

Even through the greatest breeze

But it’s their anguish to be themselves

That should make us all believe

 

In the beauty, there, within

 

Not all children show themselves

In the light of which they seek

Despite many hollow words of praise

Internally, they still feel weak

Although growing older, everyday

They still believe themselves, unique

For this reason, I must support

And of their truth, we must all speak

 

They are beautiful, there, within

 

Just like those flowers that forever grow

There are many struggling to be seen

To be heard, to be loved, to be understood

To be everything they ever dream

And truth be told, while struggle’s true

Their beauty, therein, radiates bright

It’s up to everyone else to see the truth

And permit as flowers, their destined light

 

For they are beautiful, there, within
