i just write words i think sometimes
one

my name is danielle.
this name was given to me by my mother.
online i go by flower.
because flowers make me happy.
two

i personally identify as non-binary
my mother calls me her daughter
because i am
but sometimes i wish i was a plant instead
three

writing poetry is just stream of conscious
and mine never stops
maybe that’s why i have such anxiety
maybe that’s why i blossom
