A seed grows through nurture:
Quality soil, water, sun, nutrients.
Even a kind word fills a plant
With optimism and positivity,
So it can grow into the life-affirming plant
It’s destined to be.
Remove any one of those elements,
The plant simply dies.
It’s the same with me.
Love, kindness, water, sun, nutrients
Nourish me to grow into the amazing woman
I am destined to be.
But without those,
I am destined to die,
Bitter, negative, angry, defensive,
And alone.
