Grow (poem)
I’m a flower
Struggling to grow in a too-small environment.
I’m meant to grow tall in an open field.
But they’d rather stick me in a jar.
And say, “no, we don’t want you to get that big
Because then you won’t fit here anymore.
And you’ll leave.
And we…I don’t want you to leave.
I love you.
Stay here with me.
It’ll be cozy.
Please, don’t grow.”
