commitment

blossoming conflict
nurtures
feelings of confusion
and angst

growing and blooming

in her head, weary
her stomach, queasy
her heart, heavy

she challenges herself
to inquire
from where is this
rooted

routed

and the nature
of its 'whatness'

is it her overanalytical
habit of questioning
that is brought her here
in a place of
doubt and uncertainty?

indeed.

forcing her to reflect
in order to
act thoughtfully
and passionately
and soundly

or is it a damnation
that has her by the
heartstrings pleading
with her to let things
rest as they are

leave them be

CHANGE.

it consistently waters down
her coloring and wilts
her petals of power and strength

but her beauty and
purpose are greater
in number

she will indeed love
forever.

the need to lead
will have to take a
breather
to her commitment
to follow; her heart.
