Blooming

-*-

I know the feeling, of thinking so low,

about oneself and wanting, to just go with the flow.

-*-

I know the feeling, of wishing no more,

about exciting adventures, that can blow out your core.

-*-

What is that in your face,

running down by your cheek?

Are you crying for pain

or for feeling so weak?

-*-

What is that one can hear,

coming out of your mouth?

Didn't we always say

to be ready for drought?

-*-

Let's be clear and direct, and stand up for now,

we will make a deal, and hold up to our vow.

-*-

You were born as a marvel, dreaded by any loom;

go ahead, never doubt. This is your pathway to bloom.
