the tree roots crawl
through the cement
forcing themselves
against all the odds
between many cracks
or through brick itself
these roots fight back
against the weight
placed by everyone
who all stomp them down
but the roots break free
not held down
by the weight of others' expectations

Great write
thanks!
A wonderful metaphor and good advice to anyone that reads it. Very nicely done.
thanks! remember you too can break cement
Indeed. To hell with other's expectations! What do they know anyway? Nature cannot be tamed nor can the free spirit. Absolutely love this poem and the extended use of the roots metaphor! Brilliant poem. Instant fave! 👏🌹
if you don´t like ´em, why try and impress ´em?
💯 Exactly!
