Poems
Dec 2014
i am (not) a plant
i am like a seed
people plant me into their little pots
constructed little plots
under control under their hands
they will always try to make me bloom
into a flower, into a little plant
under control under their hands
they would think that I am just a little bonsai
put a wire there, and i'll bloom
exactly the way they want me to
but I am tired of that
under control under their hands
i don't want to be tended, waiting
for me to bloom into what they expect me to
I am my own, and I don't need them to that, anymore
my body will grow, and they will see
i am not their plant,
i am not theirs
i don't want to be tended
if only the hands were tender
even with love
but then, they drench me
with words
that i love, and fall for
i am tired, but still
am just a seed
i am no tree, i am powerless
so place me into your ***
control me under a plot
and i'd will always
always go towards the sun
my sun
for a friend... and maybe for myself as well
#love
