I dangle heavy and low on my Mother’s limbs Gravitating towards the earth below Her arms outstretched Ready to let me go I hold on Looking down to see What is it that awaits me Figures salivate with hands cupped Anticipating when my lush form Will plunge into forlorn palms Now I await a fate unknown In bitter silence A stark contrast to my Sickly sweet interior No longer a bud No longer a juvenile I am whole and desirable Ready to be picked

Overripe
I dangle heavy and low on my Mother’s limbs Gravitating towards the earth below Her arms outstretched Ready to let me go I hold on Looking down to see What is it that awaits me Figures salivate with hands cupped Anticipating when my lush form Will plunge into forlorn palms Now I await a fate unknown In bitter silence A stark contrast to my Sickly sweet interior No longer a bud No longer a juvenile I am whole and desirable Ready to be picked
i've been told womanhood is a scary thing
