Pruning
To cut away branches, to help new ones grow in, stronger, like a broken bone better than before, but it hurts, you don’t just break a bone for the sake of it, you can’t just cut something out on your own resolve.
Yet still, people do cut away branches, and the plant is better for it. Cut away the bad spots, and the goodness can shine through

I cut off the sickly branches
Wilting leaves
Rotten roots
So that I may try to grow

I want to let you know that I am not in one piece now.
I was torn by myself.
I ripped my soul limb from limb in hopes of finding lost treasure.
Something buried long ago.
But what I uncovered was not my lost treasure; It was more pain, and the memory of burning my treasure.
I thought that by burning my riches, I'd humble myself into eternal life.
But that's not the only step.
I've still got ways to go.
There's a lot to do for the prep.
I have to let EVERYTHING go before I can let myself grow.

Love. Im ready to let it grow. It died a while ago. The roots were pulled out and left to die because they had no soil. No water. But Im letting them grow. Yes im afraid. Terrified in fact.

I am ready now;
Be still your selfish ribcage,
Let the dust grow, love.

There's a flower in my head
That I've never seen bloom
Still, I nurture it
Feeding myself into unknown roots
If I could've known
The prick of a rose
I still would have chosen
To let it take hold

My independence, for too many years I have been the emotional regulator, the nurturing one, the fixer. I have let my own needs go to be everyone's everything leaving nothing for myself. I am an empath and comes natural to me. I am fighting against that nature and doing me for the first time ever. People say I have changed, I can't talk to you anymore. I have changed, they can't manipulate me or guilt trip me anymore.

I promise to stay
and she says that she won't
ever go away...

What are you ready to let grow?...
Soft yet strong heart
that observes the universe
as it should be;
and lives—to be or not to be.
To see this world the
way it was—
the way it is meant to be.

I think I lost myself somewhere quiet,
between fear and days I couldn’t name.
But here, in this moment,
something still reaches for light.
I am learning the shape of my own voice again,
letting it tremble, letting it stay.
What I’m ready to grow
is not who I was—
but who I am,
unafraid to begin.
