These sad rains
Seen through the gates of my eyes
Are straight from the soul
The seed hatched,
Its features
Leave me pained and strained
Would it be lifelong?
Would it be for the most part
Of its life span?
What am I to do
If it is to be tended forever?
Not resting after I reach my ancestral land?
It would be wrong
If it is killed
When love is deep rooted, this is not a possibility
In my confusion
Are heartbreaks in thousand folds
Please, please and please, help out
I cry out for help
Extend your hand
And help my seed straighten and grow to self independency.
