greenhouses are relative
growth is a greenhouse.
--
sometimes growth means being a plastic plant,
no roots in sight
no relatively good nights
no progress.
still here for something,
for some reason.
--
sometimes growth means being a daisy,
allowance of innocence
a positive outlook
no negativity around.
--
sometimes growth means becoming a rose,
after realizing what it meant
to be broken down
but seeing the bigger picture.
which is both plastic,
and positive
all at once.
--
growth means
facing adversity.
even if it’s in your own head.
--
because:
life wanted you to feel.
everything.
and who’s to say
greenhouses
need to have limits.
