Growth

Tiny little particles
Planted in my brain
Watered with the nourishment
Only known as pain

Flourished with a fluoride
Sometimes called advice
Thriving from a knowledge
Set forth from your device

If you sow what you have reaped
And reap what you have sown
How do tiny particles
Grow without the known

Planted deep inside
Is a tiny little seed
Trying to find her sunshine
Through all the ugly weeds

Instead of offering darkness
That only hinders growth
It's time to let the sunshine in
To see if beauty flows
