This Cinnamon Spirit
A poem based on a workshop prompt based on the theme of Harvest.
I will not be dictated by verbal
shackles of a spineless dominator.
The rain that cycles through spring to
winter will not break this cinnamon spirit.
*
I am too deserving to preserve my dreams,
my freedom and choices from the knitted scarves
to maple syrup or caramel latte?
*
The one who deserves me will walk with me.
They will not brand me a traitor for disobeying them.
I am not ready to hibernate.
*
I don't care about myself enough.
I want to watch squirrels while drinking
hot chocolate and reclaim the zen I lost
when my pumpkin heart rotted away.
