The Rose Has Grown...

Rc


The rose has grown

Too tall

Too large

Its pedals

stretch toward the ground

Bounce and bob

in the wind


The rose has grown

Too quickly

Too fast

It struggles under the weight of its own

Ambition

its flimsy foundation wavers

In the wind


The rose has grown

Too alone

Too isolated

It exists in solitude

surrounded by gray

Its roots

Jam and cram

Drive and rage

Into the gray


But…


The rose has grown

Despite,

In defiance


The rose has grown

Large

In an even larger world

Quickly

In an even quicker world

Alone

In an even lonelier world


The rose has grown

Through the dirt

Through the cracks

It grew quickly

It grew large

It burst

into the world

Despite, in defiance

Who am I to judge

The way a flower grows


fuck it


the rose has grown
