What was once a seed

What was once a seed

A Poem by featherstoflight

What was once a seed

The roots are embedded in the dirt I’ve made and the tree has grown into the land I claimed.


My hands are heavy and cemented with doubt and this tree I may never dig out.


I have gnawed at the trunk with my teeth but the tree has not released. Even if I cut this down the roots will stay inside my ground.


I’ve begged the sun to burn it and he laughs at me. All the f*****g sparks I made never turn into flames.


I’ve cursed at the dirt and blamed it’s willingness to grow this tree; all the mocking returns to me.


Well its appears, this tree will always be here. With all I can, I stand in awe of its mighty life and take pride in the strength I’ve made.


So, I lean in for a kiss and splinters prick my lips. If anyone happens to read the story of my seed. Would you please tell me how to get rid of this damn tree?
