Everyone learns to grow a tree.
The tree within ourselves.
As they learn more and more about themselves.
Along the way, something goes wrong.
No water or no sun was given.
And the tree within you stops developing in its way.
The mistake or pain that was given.
Was too much to handle.
So we fall and hurt ourselves.
Thoughts swirling in our head.
Doubts, lack of confidence, and destroyed determination.
With a broken soul and mind, we stay there slowly withering away.
Nowhere to go or stay.
Just wandering around lost in the dark.
The sun hiding behind rain clouds and never coming out.
Weeds start to grow and the tree is surrounded.
The bark beginning to rot and get covered with mold.
Leaves slowly turning brown and falling to the ground.
But one day, if we just tell ourselves.
"We can do it no matter how hard the journey will be".
That is the day we learn to grow our tree again.
Fighting the urge to give up and we succeed.
The sun is starting to peak from behind the cloud.
And the hope that was slowly disappearing was coming back again.
As the leaves grow back and we grow our strength.
Day after day, the pain is there.
Yet we ignore it and try our best.
The day we look back.
We will see our accomplishments and success.
To reflect on how healthy and strong we are now.
The pain gave us scars.
But we used it as our power.
And look how far we have become.
No matter how broken you feel.
Always get up and learn to see the truth.
The results are that you know how to grow a tree.
