Simple Whatevers

She always knew what she was doing.

Whether it be climbing the trees her mother warned her not to climb.
Swimming in the dark ocean despite the fact that she drowned several times before.
Walking alone at night, though the news of missing girls always came up.
Seeking love, regardless of the broken pieces of countless hearts, splintered her toes.

"Respect everything that was here before man. Don't look for it, never challenge it, leave it alone and you will live peacefully. " her mother repeated to her. But did she listen?

Never.

Primrose Smith was told countless times to never love quickly. But did she listen?

No.

Pulled over someplace she had no care for, she drowned in her tears, for she knew that she had been warned.
She was left an open den without its lion.
But she stood tall, chin high, and eyes cleansed from their past tears
because Smiths never exposed their broken hearts.
