This Cinnamon Spirit
written by: Chloe Gilholy
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.
