[ Roots ]

I do not grow in symmetry

I will never be your perfection

And the roots I plant will hold the ground

Best without your intervention

And still I’ll find perfection

Despite the twists and turns of life

Far from the cage of your desires

And the pruning of your knives

I’ve weathered you for seasons

I’ve known the weight of your despair

Yet I have never ceased to grow

In the beauty I appear

You’re no mother, Mother Nature

You’re no reason to delight

Just a distraction from the sun

That but a fool would idolize
