I'm a houseplant that survived
for too long with no water
(with no love),
but I had plenty of sun.
Now the shades are drawn,
now our day is done,
now my hope for you is gone.
On my own, I can
discover what I need,
I can figure out how to be,
I can learn to survive,
to bloom, to blossom, to thrive.
Sunless
