May you bloom.
For now, is the time that you may finally be free.

Rewind.
Get out of distorted hues being put on you.

Reframe.
Do not lose your petals comforting those who have not once taken the time to water, you.

For you, my angel.
You run your own parade.

You hold it down,
for yourself.

Therefore today
is yours to take.

You may finally decide your fate.
Bloom.
