My Inner Sunflower

She always seems to know
exactly where the sun will rise
because sunflowers grow best
when closest to the sun.
More resilient
than a lot of other flowers
she doesn't bend as easily.
Her stem is firm.
A blooming sunflower
she's happy, full of faith
and adoration for all that is.
Quite simply:
authentic and unapologetically free.

It's Called Boundaries

My past and present
have collided and are warring
in the most paradoxical sense
In the kindest, most tender
colloquial fashion
I now tell folks
to get the fcuk out of my face
with any and all bullshit.
