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
