Yearning To Rise

Tiny heart, world inside Waiting for a hand to guide I'm a seed, life's whisper Promise of a thousand branches Canopy reaching for the sky ROOTS! Plunging deep Earth's embrace, sustenance I seek Mighty trunk, strong and proud Touch the clouds, defy time's shroud I YEARN TO RISE! Reach for the sun! Stand tall, testify Life's grace is never undone But wait- Cold hand clutches Potential stifled Captive to unkind fate No warmth No nurture No breath of life Only darkness Crushing weight Forever denied my right This is my story Unfulfilled potential Silent scream of what could've been Echo of a dream... that never grew
