Gentle. Fragile. Soft.
How can something so delicate be so rigid?
Silence. Chained. Gagged.
Something so beautiful shouldn’t be so hard.
You see, objects adapt to their environment.
These flowers did not start as rough.
These blossoms were full of promise, full of expectations.
Circumstances made them change their demeanor from demure to aggressive.
Dreams and goals were snatched in that moment.
Their petals fell to the ground; they were in the garden . . . bare and without fruit.
Instead of withering, instead of vanishing, they found a new life.
They became a better version of themselves.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I present to you . . . The Garden of Flowers.
Beauty comes in different forms. When we see beauty, we assume that it had a great life; but there is more than meets the eye. Even the most beautiful soul comes from a place of hardship and sorrow. There are many tragedies that happen to us all; whether it is domestic abuse or sexual trauma, we will triumph and continue to bloom like flowers. Whether we have lived through the pain or witnessed the pain, the experience and the lessons learned make us beautiful.
The Garden of Flowers: A Visual Anthology consists of poems that speak about domestic abuse and sexual trauma from different points of view. Each flower discusses how domestic abuse and sexual trauma has affected its life, both good and bad. Here, you will find solace and comfort. Everything is waiting for you, in The Garden of Flowers.
