inevitably
nervous, he stumbled, quickened
my hesitant smile
his literal in-
stability, a magnet
to my naive heart
oh yes, I will change
that one, watch him grow, flower
like my chia pet
realization, he's
not a common houseplant
waiting for water
his roots formed long ago
by his blood, his desires
realization, he
will not change for me
suddenly morph into a
knowing gentleman
all he knows is that
i will bend for him, create
reasons he is fine
so now i'm cement
fixed in place to remember
big girls don't crumble
they build their own castles
while their princes chase frogs
they become ruler
Well composed reflection
