How is it that you grow
In the barren land of my lost opportunities?
In the land where no tree or shrub grows
Where I, like flowers, do not blossom
The dust of my doubts
Swirl in the air
The stench of broken dreams
Lingers in the air
The path littered with fallen hopes
And the sun beating mercilessly down
Sparing no thought on our capabilities
Like the pressure pressing down on me
The flies
The filthy, disgusting flies
The whispers that bring my confidence down
The frustration that I can't make them go away
How is it that you grow
With the filthy water of my lost confidence?
That you grow in the harshest conditions
When I have nothing?
Your green leaves spread over the dry terrain
Your roots deep in infertiles soil
The air and water you take in are filthy
Yet your flowers bloom so beautiful
People trample on your home
They disregard anything you own
They spout a pond of dirty water on your floor
But you make it a beautiful river
How do you do it?
How do you grow so well
When there is nothing to hold on to?
Nothing or no one to support you?
Did you believe in yourself?
Did you do this on your own?
How do you thrive,
My oasis?
Author's Note:
HI! I wrote this in Egypt and I forgot to publish it so here it is! I published some JinMin Christmas fluff and I have more JinMin on the way, Mr. Photosynthesis' date chapter is in the making so you can look forward to that I guess? I'll publish my new JinMin if Christmas was successful. I also have a story in mind that's going to have a little drama so, if you'd like to have it, tell me? Haha thank youuuuuuuuuuuu!
