UPSWING

Transitional and Sure.

I am the way I am.
I am strong like trees
that set up tall and never stop growing towards the sun.
I am also pulse.
not the heart, but the pulse.
I am a consistent rhythm,
and I dance quicker when excitement
is flowing through your veins instead of blood.
I am October.
I'm the month that's full of transition
because I never stop the urge to become something more and bigger than what I already am.
I crave change and I thrive off of it.
I create change and I succeed from it.
the power to have and to hold, always loses
to the power to change and to create,
when it comes to me.
I am a garden rose.
with little thorns because I don't need much protection from a world I no longer live in fear of.
I am constellations in the sky because I'm so sure that different versions of myself reappear again in different seasons.
I am cloudless weather.
I am always certainly sunny,
or a tragic storm.
you don't have to guess to see who I am and how I'll change you,
you'll know.
I am the girl that is so easy to fall in love with.
It's hard to turn away a pair or blue eyes, a ferocious laugh, and a promised little gift of love.
but Ill leave because for some reason
I'm never happy or content with falling in love easily.
I am sorry,
that you're the lover that decided to stay
when you knew I was also a tragic storm.
