Tabula Rasa

You never knew you would make it till here,
Rising above the sky was never a chance
New beginnings don't end happily always
A true fighter at all times stands on the ground
Comfort never proved to be a true healer
You never knew you would make it to the ground.

Is this a seed growing as well as a person facing challenges? I looked up 'tabula rasa' - the blank slate hypothesis. Survival is worth striving for. I like how the similar first and last lines bookend the growth. J :)

It is truly about a person struggling to grow and trying to find a place somewhere. Thanks much for giving it a read.
