I Had a Realization That Came From a Relationship

I want to flourish into a flower  

blossoming into things I could only dream of.   

My skin is made of  rose petals,  

my vibrant color pleases my mind  

and my soul. 

I can only grow from here.  


 

He liked to pick my petals.  

He did not water me.  


 

My partner must be nourishing my roots 

not 

dragging me by the branch  

or holding me back from my full potential.
