Separated Petals

Me and my friends are like petals on a flower
Suddenly we all get swept up by the wind
We all go in different directions
And I watch as they get swept away
Moving farther and farther away from me

I push on the wind that is holding me
like a cage I am trapped in
Yet I don’t have the key
The wind tries to crinkle me up
But I stay strong

The wind drops me into a running stream
And I feel all my emotions rushing back to me
Sadness trickles from my veins
Splashing anger onto me
But I stay strong
And I journey on

Suddenly the wind picks me up and carries me on
But this time I know what to do
I use my heart
My brain
And my soul
And soon I am with them again
