"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.."
- C.S Lewis


Its little and white

Surrounded by darkness

In the cold hard ground

 

iIt didnt believe in itself,

It was little and weak,

And did nothing to benefit the world

 

All it could do was drink,

Everday,

All day

 

One day it was losing hope,

It took one last drink

And began to change

 

It grew roots and a stem,

And shot out of the ground like a rocket,

And it could feel...

 

It could feel the nice warm sun on its leaves

See the clear blue sky above it

And see the beautiful creatures that surrounded it

 

The little seed

The seed with no hope

Turned into a beautiful, life changing flower

This poem I wrote is about me, when I started to lose hope of being myself and being different, I tried one more time and everything changed, I began to finally be myself.
