Dealing with expectations
Path laid before me
Keep quiet and to the edges
One foot. Two feet.
The beginning has ended so Stop.

Be this go there
Like a Bansai I am trimmed.
Pieces of me litter the table
Compost for another day

Limbs tied to the stake
My growth is cultivated
Discipline and dedication
Beautiful buzzwords for control

But I will grow
Stretch to Sun and the Moon
Break free of these lashes
Plant roots in the middle
of this damn path

And scream
