a barrier is necessary

a barrier is necessary
to separate
the prey
from the predator lurking on everything so lovely
predator doesn’t lurk on the lamb
it lurks on its pretiness
the magical way it lives in its own world
seeing the grass greener
whereas predator doesn’t see grass
just the lamb
the little lamb
my mom
my beautiful sad mom
in a world filled with the greenest grass
topped with the prettiest flowers
in a world i thought i’d live for eternity
till i found out she made a bargain
letting the fox in the hen house
after seeing a lamb of its own roaring
displeased that pink topped grass is only exclusive in her own world
she must have wanted to check how outside was
too scared to let me out
too respectful of my curiosity to let someone in
i wonder how hard must it have been
to give up what she had created
me
and her flowers
as her flowers rotted
her grass got browner
her limbs got weaker
