It hurt so bad 

I knew it was growth

I wondered when I began to embrace it.

I quit wondering and asked for more.

I sought it out.

I obtained it.

and I cried myself to sleep with it.

and I wondered what is really healthy.

How much of this is about me

and how much of this is really

really about you

and how you feel about me.

The moment it hurt...I knew it was growth.

I can't shed anything without having layers of shedding prepared.
