Poem #278 Remember your roots…

They say,

Remember your roots

What should I remember?

The feeling of being abandoned,

Or that of, finding my own way;

The feeling of being unwanted,

Or that where, I grew kind and loving;

The feeling of never belonging,

Or that of planting roots, each time I was uprooted;

The feeling of being looked down upon,

Or that of building, strong unbreakable protective walls;

The feeling of being proclaimed the problem,

Or that of singly, trying to solve all of them;

The feeling of over flooding tear ducts,

Or that of a smile, that fought to conquer them;

The feeling of having no one to lean on,

Or that of getting myself back up, after each fall;

The feeling of being all alone,

Or that of, making this world my own…

They say,

Remember your roots

What should I remember?

I say, each of them,

Is a proud victory, or a survivors’ scar,

So forget nothing, remember them all…
