Elephantis rosette

Out here in the open, not even half way home
This bouquet I carry is a promise I've longed to show
Unprepared to weather this world alone
But it's a promise I said I'd show
I've lost more than I could ever know
Photographs of a loving home
Such anger in this house no longer my own
My journey's too far affected
By losing faith in what I've reflected
Two years neglected, roots pulled from the ground
Rejected
Remember when you had a change of heart?
Protective reassurance the significant part
Pulled from the rosette that was safe in my bones
Taking me wayward down an unmarked road
With release of the hand you let me go
Turning your back as my up-roots show
Exposed to the air limbs wither and die
Abandon your child he's not worth your time
Exposed to the air limbs wither and die
Abandon your child he's not worth your time
I'm coming back, I'm stepping on
My heart will take me to where I belong
I'm not losing faith in what I've reflected
My journey has been too far affected
