Strange flower

Though I'm growing into a strange flower
Knowing I'll stand out
I might stay where I was sown
Instead of reaching out

Uprooting myself to find life elsewhere
Away from all I know
A scary business that may be
And this is soil I know

But this soil might be dry and barren
However safe and sound
I might grow twisted and depraved
Without new nutritious ground

Yet I don't think life is possible
Unless the soil is right
And I like it here, where I am
With hometown soil in sight

A little detour now and then
Wouldn't hurt me though
Changing pot and even soil
Might just help me grow
