The Rose To Rise

sure,

my human might like something,

she has to have it, no.

not every time,

not all the time,

not ever.

she could though, have it.

If she wanted, she could give it to herself.

Does she allow the bud to bloom,

Does she,

she cut it off early,

just to see what happens.

She could call it curiosity,

call it love,

laziness.

She could eat it,

call it delicious,

or gross.

She could call it self-sabotage,

could call it sabotage,

or…

She could let it grow,

nourish it,

tend to it,

love it
