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.
