Life unfolding

Unfolding
Like petals, new to the world
Tired of crouching and hiding within protective walls.
Bursting forth in response to the warmth of sunlight and community.
The unfolding of a heart is uncomfortable work.
No longer used to my dimensions, I bump and bash
Graze delicate edges against the roughness of a new world.
bruise petals as I dance through the days.

The morning are toughest
As I attempt to reopen my raw and reeling regalia
Until the sun soothes the edges and I can relax once more
Easing into each new day,
Alight on the breeze.

With new aspects to myself awakening,
I catch the eye of new creatures
animals insects and fellow flowers alike.
It's exhilarating.
Exhausting.

To engage in a new age
Edges expanding,
This is evolution.

I wish I could

I'm a moon person too. But I'm too caught up in my petty securities and routines to wander the streets at night

neighborhood nights

I feel like somewhere along my life there was a shift. Suddenly nothing was for fun any more, it was all necessary. Suddenly I'm bothering with what others think, afraid to link any connotations I deem negative to my being. Why do I care what people I've never met, who'll forget they ever saw me, think of me; this obscure stranger in their peripherals. It's a warped sense of mind and place, seeing the space around me in my mind's made up ways. So I stray away from everyone, isolating myself unwittingly, turning them against me. Self fulfilling prophecies, I succeed in creating this reality. I need to break free from my mind's mentalities, with which negativity has propelled me. So I've started a new sport. I call it neighborhood night dancing. Donning headphones and heading out alone to the empty streets as the city sleeps, and moving to the beat. Letting it compel me towards a freedom long gone missing. Letting go is an art. Complete release is a tough
