Growth

Like a puppy, it follows you everywhere, craving your attention
But you- you don’t give it a chance
You squash that sprout as soon as it pokes its little green chlorophylled head out of the soil and stretches itself in your direction
I know: you’re frustrated and tired, but that’s just mean.

“Déjate querer” means let yourself be loved
But I’m not talking about someone else loving you, no!

Let the seedling within bask in the light of day
Water it, allow joy to bud & blossom.

Don’t take negativity out on yourself
The world is mean enough on its own.
