That phrase,
That phrase you love to say
It has become overdone, cliché
No, it’s not a phase
Wait,
Years, not days
And see
I will not change
Not this way or that way
Though I may grow,
I may expand in waves,
I will not change
To fit your phrase
I will only expand,
Expand in waves
Is that okay?
That I will stay?
That I won’t change?
That I can only expand,
Expand in waves?
Is that okay?
You could drown
Or be carried by the waves,
Float or thrash in my multitude
Either way
I will expand
I will expand in waves
I will stay
I will not change
And that’s okay.
