Sunflower of Trust

Sunflower of Trust

 

Aggravated aggression

running as fast as I can,

and getting nowhere.

I just want

a little peace

to call my own.

 

Or a little piece.

 

Something substantial

to hold on to,

not the chord

of the last song I

I heard on the radio.

 

Respect?

 

Perhaps.

 

And like a sunflower

of trust,

that grows

in the cracks

of a busy city sidewalk.

 

I feel it will never happen.

 

Not for this girl.
