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.
