Sturdy (Revised)

Sturdy.

What can be sturdy?

Clearly not a flower.

But does it have the potential to be sturdy?

It’s weak,

Flimsy.

Vulnerable.

But strong.

Holding itself together.

If a simple flower can do that,

why can’t I?

I feel so broken,

Fragile,

Delicate.

Like egg shells.

Brittle, like crackers.

Dried out, like old crusty raisins.

But can I be strong?

Can I be sturdy?

Is there potential in me to become better?

You say I can.

Help me.

Teach me.

I want to be sturdy.
