Taken away from everyone like you
And gently placed alone.
It is dark and hard to breathe.
You must push above to the surface,
But stay firm and rooted.
It is light and clear,
Yet not everything makes sense still.
Others lovingly take care of you.
Still, much of your growth depends on you.
You have to try every day.
You have to grow every day,
Reaching for the light, pushing higher.
Sometimes receiving help from others.
Careful not to compare yourself,
For you are loved for unique qualities.
The wind blows you every direction,
It affects you more as you grow closer to the light.
But, you are rooted firmly.
The rain beats down upon you,
Some take important things away from you,
Others try to cut you down,
Or destroy your roots.
You may be damaged and hurt,
But you must still try to stand strong.
Just remember to reach for your potential,
Then keep growing!
Interesting thoughts! It kind of seems like you are trying to be cryptic in a way. If you are trying to make it seem that way, I think you should stop talking so directly about the subject. To me it seems like you're being to direct with everything. Be more mysterious!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the plant analogy. I never would have seen so many similarities. "Or destroy your roots" is probably my favorite line. Make you forget where you came from. Hit you where it hurts. That's a really interesting way of taking it.
