bonsai;

i'm beginning to feel like a bonsai tree, strapped down to grow into what everyone else wants me to, stunted. so that i may never grow to my full potential. i don't think i'll ever be who i want to be, because no one will ever let me. maybe i won't let myself.. i just feel so silenced, i can't say what i want to, at least not loud enough for anyone to hear. i can't do what i want to, at least not when anyone else is around.

i guess people think it's alright to do that to trees, because it's "art". so maybe it's okay you do this to me, my suffering is beautiful, and something anyone would like to see.
