Poem for Literary Magazine

[William Radfield]

My school now has a literary magazine, and they were having a contest to see whose writing they would include in it, so my language arts teacher thought it'd be fun if she make it required to submit a piece. This is what I came up with.

trampled rose
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

What have they done?
Their words like knifes
sever your leaves
make your petals bleed
They uprooted you,
planted you on unsure ground
They trampled you,
stomped you into the dust
and left you there
as if you were nothing

But you aren't nothing
All you need is the healing rain
and you will bloom again
You are not alone
The sky sees your pain,
and it weeps for you
Embrace its tears
and you will be beautiful

[Sam Calloway]
