it eventually gets better, without any sort of explanation; you just wake up one morning and you're just as upset anymore.


it is time for us to spread our branches
we will stop being pushed down by detrimental winds and oppressive winter snow
our roots will dig deep into our soil and give us the strength to push upwards
we will reach for the sun, and when we reach the sun we will go beyond, and search for another galaxy
our trunks will start off as thin and bare
but just like every other good thing in this world, with time we will grow
our trunks will become thick and strong and will decorate themselves with pine needles, or maybe even an array of flowers
we will grow pinecones and our buds will blossom into something beautiful
one day we will make up the most beautiful forest
but for now we will start small, we will plant the seeds of equality and nurture them with the water of temerity

this was inspired by feminism and i wrote it on Martin Luther King Day. i remember reading so many quotes about equality, and doing a school project on women in the 60's, so this was inspired the start of a new generation.
