must I write perfect poems when my life isn’t .

The eucalyptus tree reminds me of the most evergreen part of me . My wisdom grows as slow as a snail But as seasonal as the changing seasons of a butterfly . My wings feel as light as a feather The heaviest scale couldn’t count its heavy stars. My talk feels like voices in a black hole. Full of my sound waves , but little understood. My heart screams for love , but not for growth. But growth is my love , growth is love . Scared to dance the night away , but even stars hide in the sun light . Strawberries at my favorite farmer markets stand . Let me know life is just as sweet . I say , life can be as sweet as you make it A strawberry must be green and sour to be full of life x sweetness .
