Our Garden



A seed planted in the soil of men
We are expected to grow to their standards
The sun shines ever so bright
Telling us
Grow your petals
The way you want them to be grown
Blossom into the remarkable woman you are

They'll try to silence us
Grab us by the roots and drag us down
But we are stronger

In the garden of flowers
We stick together and help one another
