#brthers
Someone said I was a seed that
would grow deep.
But you pulled me before I had
the chance to grow between the
fallen brothers that
were taller.
But you quarantined me in this
this place.
Potted, you told me that I'd grow
further than the family
I'd left behind.
It was a moment
of concern that I'd never
reach the lengths of my brothers
and sisters. yet you put me
higher than they'd ever reach...
They fell beneath me,
But no ,matter who falls
were the same branch and we will
always reach further
than my silence as we'll always be
reaching further than
than the hate that tries to keep us
lower than the furthest branch
that we can grow from the desert of your
infertile earth.
