​The Artist

Before a flower blooms
It must endure the fiercest rains
In the darkest hour
While still beneath the dirt

But then, there in the soil
There is a crack
Where the sun shines through

And so you begin to follow that light
You emerge on the other side

But still, you feel small
Your petals are minuscule
Your ideas of self worth are comparative

​
​The rain comes again in the fall
But you didn’t know you were still
Growing beneath it all
The roots grow stronger with time
So in the summer
When the sunlight hit you
You broke open
And it is scary,
To break
But that is the art of blooming.

Welcome, Sarah! I love your poem you added here! Your use of repetition is really powerful, and effective. Yup, to bloom takes reaching out, over and over, reaching for that light. Here's to being our full, open selves!
