I was the tree in your forest,
but you threw a match
on the undergrowth of my insecurities.
Never letting me grow, a potential
to flourish, grow upwards,
But you burnt me down,
every emotion was tinder's
I was ash below your feet,
but when one is burnt
down to many times.
One becomes more resilient to
the flames that are lit on purpose.
Unyielding you lit to many matches,
and the last time one stood tall.
Untouched by your demoralization,
and i grew past you
and now my forest is blossoming
i grew ever stronger
now that your words burnt out.
