defiance

I am like a weed in a garden
When I bloom I am torn
Beaten
For fear my seeds will spread

Sometimes I am so damaged
And humiliated
I think I cannot bloom again
I will not

Am I poisonous?
Do I have thorns?
Does my fragrance offend?
Are my flowers so ugly?

Too bad!
I have no others
And I will not wither away
To make room for more
Of what already grows
