No Idea

I have no idea who I am. I have no idea what is expected of me. I have no idea how to respond to the atrocities which present themselves. Where do the lines go that you imprint on yourself?

Bloom

I am a tiny green bulb I push my way up through the cold earth Up, up, up Air – finally I sprout, growing Toward the sun Stretch, stretch, stretch I swell, I ripen Out comes my color Small at first Then bigger, bigger Pop my petals Shoot out Bloom
