Flower Girl
What holds her together is the same thing that rips her apart
It keeps her going; it’s doomed from the start.
Fresh pages, life’s stages, it’s been ages.
The same faces, forbidden places, careful embraces.
Your own doubt poisoned you young
Your own thoughts stifle the words that made it all the way to the tip of your tongue.
Silence is easy but it gets you nowhere
Keeping inside something so rare
Facing this pressure to share
They stare
But there’s no way to know if they’ll care.
Do you dare?
