YOU BLOOMED ANYWAY
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">They said nothing grows here </span></p><p>too hard, too cold,</p><p>too cruel a place for softness to survive.</p><p>Yet there you are,</p><p>rising between the cracks,</p><p>a quiet defiance dressed in white and gold.</p><p><br/></p><p>You were never handed gentle soil.</p><p>Life gave you stone,</p><p>pressed weight upon your chest,</p><p>and waited for you to break.</p><p>But you </p><p>you whispered to the dark,</p><p>and the dark listened.</p><p>It moved aside just enough</p><p>for your light to breathe.</p><p><br/></p><p>You’ve carried storms in silence,</p><p>smiled with trembling lips,</p><p>and loved when it would’ve been easier to shut down.</p><p>The world doesn’t see the roots</p><p>that fought beneath the surface,</p><p>the nights you nearly gave up,</p><p>the mornings you rose anyway.</p><p><br/></p><p>You are the flower between bricks </p><p>a story of grace in grit,</p><p>of pain turned into proof,</p><p>of beauty born from pressure.</p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe that’s your quiet magic</p><p>that even when the world forgot to be kind,</p><p>you remembered to grow.</p><p>Not perfectly.</p><p>Not without scars.</p><p>But wholly.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because you, like that little bloom,</p><p>were never meant to just survive.</p><p>You were meant to remind us </p><p>that hope can live anywhere,</p><p>even here.</p><p>Even now.</p><p>Even in you.</p>
