Hitting rock bottom
He lays in the dirt
Fed up with this life
Broken and hurt
He lays there motionless
All alone
This spot in the dirt
His new home
The waters poured on
He draws his last breath
Surly he will
Drown to death
Lying there thoughts
That this isn’t right
The little seed should have
Drown tonight
Looking around
At how the rest have grown
Failures in life
Is all that he’s known
Sinking farther and farther
Into depression each day
He woulda drowned that night
If he had his way
He’s such a failure
His destiny’s doomed
The only seed
That hasn’t bloomed
And then one day
He looks and sees
The beautiful flower
He’s become to be
All the beauty he let
Slip before his eyes
He himself holds
He comes to realize
Happy and free
Escaped from the dark
This little seed
Now has a new start
He looks back to that time
He wanted to end the fight
And for the first time, he’s happy
He didn’t drown that night
Beautiful poem that starts out in depression and progresses to become happy once again great poem :)
Wow. Great poem, great message, and I wonder if your writing about a man, a flower growing or both. Either way the metaphor is perfect, and right now I feel like the seed/man drowning because of all I've let go by.
That's really inspirational. I love how you stuck with the seed reference throughout. I sometimes feel like that, I hope I grow out of this like the guy in your poem.
This is great...I read your bio what do you mean you dnt write. You clearly do cause your really good. Keep it up.
SIMPLY STUNNING! ! ! Seriously, not enough superlatives for it. One of the best I've read. I love the way the poem suddenly switches, beautifully written. I am at the wanting to drown stage at the moment but this poem gives me hope.

I would like to translate this poem
this write is more insightful and philosophical than it reads...the 'only seed that has't bloomed' was about to get drowned and lost but well soaked in its dark experiences of such a life still sprouted and bloomed...good... good imagery you create, Brianna...10
