I feel as though I have given away as much as I can bear, Without receiving the same in return. Oh no— I begin to worry. Where has my selfless nature gone? Has my genuine desire to uplift the souls around me, Suddenly vanished from this universe? Where have those eager and thriving sprouts been buried? It seems my soil has become much too dry to nourish this growth any longer. I worry more. I feel so willing So capable But why are my heart and soul Suddenly so malnourished? You see truth is, No matter how strong a plant, Or how able they are to flourish, They are less likely to reach this full potential Without enough Food Water And sunlight. So yes, I have become malnourished But I hold hope In the countless beings around me To lend me what I need To begin new growth.
