Bloom


Why is it a sin to bloom
To bloom means to express yourself in someone else
So why is it a sin to bloom
To bloom means to be freed from the inside out
Is it a sin to find yourself?
Is it a sin to find someone else?
The Christians believed that there is only one way to be freed
Through Jesus
But what if they were wrong
 
What if we can free ourselves
What if they say to bloom is a sin because
they want to keep it all for themselves
They say it is pure but
Not in the way it should be
To live your life for someone else, something else, is fine
But we shouldn’t be watched and we shouldn’t be fined
For living our lives and choosing to bloom
 
If Christ was crucified for our countless crimes then
Throw light upon the reason why 
thou shall not touch ones lips with another’s in the darkness 
Less to be condemned to hell by your loving father
 
If only we choose to embrace ourselves entirely
We can embrace ourselves and each other too
 
We need to find the sun
We need to find our own Jesus
The flower only blooms with sunlight
You cannot force a flower to bloom
It has to do it on its own will
 
So if you choose to bloom
Choose to bloom the most beautiful form of yourself
For to give yourself away to another
Is to find yourself all the same
