Scattered Seeds

(Random stories Shared with me influenced this write)

 


Endless reaching I pick up the pieces
My Life lost in scattered seeds
One by one I pick them up 
To rebuild another tree

I am the tree, my soul the seeds
I dropped them in places randomly
Throughout my unfortunate life
Where others stole a piece of me

I dropped a few when I was young
When my dad’s drinking had begun
He beaten and tortured beyond repair
Taking things I choose not to share

I dropped a few when I was a teenager
Living among people I considered a stranger
I looked for those who I recognized
But what I seen my eyes despised 

 
I dropped a few when I was older
When my husband left and turned his shoulder
My life became harder with children involved
I witnessed their cries that seem to evolve

I dropped a few when I realized
That I can't live with secrets and lies
And  faced my own demons and forgave
All who took a part of my life away
 
With endless reaching I pick up the pieces
My soul is scattered seeds
One by one I pick them up
Rebuilding another tree

One day my roots will be planted
Where I stand so sturdy and tall
I will not allow to be shaken
My seeds will never fall
