weeds
January 22, 2019
Shaped by the world
Wants to be free form it
But can’t let go
Afraid to make a mistake
Afraid of the change
Wants just to fit in
To be accepted
To blend in
But stand out
To lead
But follow
To be good
But to be dark
One of a kind
But in millions
Shattered
But put back together
And held there by friends
But still cracking
The weed
Strong enough to break boulders
The weed
The people
The Boulder
The friends
I am the boulder
And people are the weeds
