Forever Rooted

I'm a resilient plant see I thrive on your absence You can forget about me but for sure I grow stronger I won't shrivel, wilt and crumble out of balance Air and light is all I need in life I conquer. Roots rich with nutrients foiled your attempts of neglect Positive motivation in germination I succeed For this gentian my water retention keeps me erect It's photosynthesis the sheer willingness in life indeed Erect on the shelf I think to myself how brave To have a pulsating xylem from root to the leaves And the wall of moisture I built to defend the toxic ideas you crave You see my resilience is pure excellence in life I do achieve.
