MY ROOTS!!

Under my skin

Lays the truth of where I’ve been

Easy to hind away what I have seen

Like the water to the trees

I soak in all that I need

But you can’t get to the root of my seed

My roots grow and twist in many ways

Like the seasons in the year that’s where I’ve changed

You wasn’t there to watch me grow

So my history you don’t know

My proud roots stem

From my family tree

The people that taught me to believe in me

And only to be the best that I can be

And now those heavy roots have grown into the woman you see

And the very story of me.

No matter what weather I face,

My roots won’t be replaced

So I won’t let those lessons go to waste

My roots are the very soul of me

The person I was born to be

There every single part of me

From my bad habits to a treasured memory

From my hidden lies to the reason I became wise

My roots are my every scream my every cry

My every scar

Even my every thought for why,

 Every darn time I tried

Every test I fought by.

You can’t understand how my roots lie

But no matter how thick the mud

My roots brake through the rough

And out way the tough
