Wildflower

I'm free now, unchained, 

From the bonds that brought me pain

No more tears, no more strain

I'm phoenix, reborn again

In my era of not giving a damn

I no longer need validation, no false glam

I'm in control, standing tall

My garden, once poisoned, now blooms with grace

Walking away with head held high, a smile on my face

Feasting on self-love, sweetest embrace 

My worth is now a reflection of my own shine

The sun rises, as a new chapter unfolds

Embracing academic challenges, a story to be told

A radiant soul, now free to unfold
