Roots
My tree grows
from the seeds of
customs, ideologies and traditions
that have been
subconsciously incorporated
into my mind
My tree grows
from the rains of
situations, encounters and experience
that have been
aggressively bestowed
upon my life
My tree grows
from the suns of
hopes, dreams and faith
that have
subtly shone
upon the surface of my skin
Many question how
my leaves flourish
saying that they resemble the
white surroundings
that my tree inhabits
but I say
Despite the appearance
of the leaves,
a strong tree
never forgets
its roots.
