A Plant In Shade

A Plant In Shade

 

My life is full of turmoil,

Because I am grounded in soil.

 

Every instance I am desperate,

All of my friends are late,

All of them are gone,

Leaving me all alone.

 

No one here minds,

But I do.

No one here is kind,

Why they do so?

 

I believe I will grow,

One day.

If I won’t get crushed,

The other day.

 

People are my fear,

Their love is so harsh,

Plucking me apart,

Is what they call love,

I don’t know how,

They bear to call it love.

 

My luck is really harsh,

I used to be on a marsh,

But now I am suffering,

On a dried out terrain,

With no snow, no rain.

I am all parched.

 

All is not lost,

But I still have the hope.

One day the clouds,

Will gift me some drops,

Hope turns me green,

Still all of it appears to be a dream.

 

Because at the moment,

I am all yellow,

I am also sad,

But I won’t fade,

Because I want to flower and shower.

 

The other day,

They will see me,

Turning into a giving tree.

 

One that plays with the winds,

One that gives shade,

One that never fades,

A tree unseen,

Every season green.
