A tree that regrows

 

I'm practicing restraint

on some tendencies.

They shine too loud

sometimes.

 

And I would like to just

quell it

d

o

w

n.

 

Habits turned whimpers,

whispers;

     existence soothingly redefined

but agonizing

in tandem.

 

An axe to tree bark -

count the rings from which

I will

regrow

over the withered -

 

          may it remain a reminder

          of what now I know.
