i analysis
and i heal
i am a garden but the problem is,
i like the way the weeds look even though they suffocate my plants
problem is,
those weeds were still created
by the hands of nature herself
and i still see them as beyond beautiful  
despite the fact
that they ****
i love my garden so much
including the weeds
killing off my flowers
but there’s a choice you have to make
as a gardener
you’d think it’d be an easy choice
but it’s hard when you admire
even the most deadly and dangerous aspects of life
as well as
the lovely and loving
i think it’s all beautiful
even the ugly and harsh
everyone, everything
deserves love
in my eyes
yes, even who have wronged me
even those of you who i no longer speak to
who i no longer see
but i do see you
i see you as beauty

here’s to the new year
here’s to picking out those weeds
time to create a new garden to tend to
here’s to 2022
