You are a seed (Rama Khatri)

  You are a seed

Rama Khatri

Department of English

You are a seed

Small and delicate

Infused with a dream

You are a seed

That grows through

Pain and hardships

You are a seed

That wants to bloom and blossom

With colorful flowers and leaves

You are a seed

With no idea who you’ll grow up to be

Praying to be redwood, rose

Anything but not the weed

You are a seed

Frail and overlooked

While other vibrant colors being picked

You are a seed

Hit by a storm

And flooded by the rain

Into the ditch

You are a seed 

here comes your time

when you grow

beautiful in the pitch
