Petals on the Sidewalk - Teen Angst Poetry

Between the cracks,
Where no others dare to go,
Grows a lonesome flower
Swimming against the flow

Sitting there all alone
Thriving triumphantly in the sunlight
Doing its best to grow
That little flower was quite an odd sight

And after doing its best
To become big and strong
At the dismay of that little flower
A weedeater came along

Petals on the sidewalk
There beneath the trees
Are all that’s left to remind us
Of a heroic little flower now blowing in the breeze
