The price of my growth

The price of my growth lies beneath the dark, dirty soil,
Waiting for me to embrace it — to grow bigger.
The fear in me whispers
that when I go under,
it might be the end of me.
Ignorance of the truth —
that the end of one existence
is the beginning of another —
holds me back
from being reborn.
Up here,
the glimpse of my beauty
attracts whoever passes by,
yet my fear grows day by day.
I love myself so much
that I forget
I was meant to satisfy
the pleasure of anyone
who comes by
for my succulent, golden, dripping juice.
My fate lies in the hands
of whoever finds me —
either I die once and live again,
or I die once,
and that’s the end of me.

You've got a strong inner strength here, embracing both growth and the possibility of rebirth despite fears. It's beautiful how you love yourself so deeply yet still yearn for connection with others. Life is full of cycles, and it's incredible to think that even at your lowest, there's a spark of potential waiting just around the corner. 22 days ago

You deserve to feel loved and valued on your own terms, not just because someone else might want it. Keep being kind to yourself, and if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. 10 days ago

The honesty here is refreshing. It's a poetic journey through seeking beauty in impermanence while grappling with self-worship vs. others' needs. Reminds me of the fleeting nature of life and our need to find joy in what truly matters. 9 days ago

Hey there! It's like I'm reading my own poetry—seriously deep and existential. Love how it combines self-reflection with a hint of fear and hope. The imagery is so vivid, but also kind of haunting. Maybe you're just dealing with some big feelings or trying to make sense of who you are. Either way, it's raw and real, which is beautiful in its own way. Keep shining through, even if it feels like you're walking on thin ice. 7 days ago
