J. D. Fergunson

I am to myself.

Because we are addicted

To doing what

Feels good.

And acting like they are the victims

When you're literally on fire

And they have the gas and matches on their hands.

To have been broken before.

Or... Are they gentle because

They've been broken?

I'll tell you the story of each one.

How they came to be.

Some were self made.

Others were by accident.

And even carnivore plants.

And you, you will never

Grow anything in your garden.

Although you've tried, and failed,

Multiple times,

And you consider yourself

The best gardener

Flowers don't grow when

You just walk on them.

Water them and put them

In a sunny place, and they'll grow

One day they'll be taller

Than me.

I can grow flowers.

But you... Only know

To have been broken before.

Or... Are they gentle because

Then they want to expand

And end up hurting others,

Sometimes on purpose.

Why you are so in pain

Maybe you should wonder

That the pain you've given others

Is now returning to you.

That's the definition of karma.
