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
