The doe doesn’t apologize
For eating your garden,
For eating the fruits
Of your labor.
The deer hopped the fence.
Wasn’t let in,
Didn’t announce its presence.
Offers no explanation
For the missing berries, the chewed leaves.
Be more like the deer.
Nurture yourself unabashedly,
Allow yourself the guilt-free nutrients of
A blissful experience.
Know that you deserve to exist
And have your needs met,
No apology needed.
