My little seed
I planted a little seed,
Watered it everyday
Hoping for it to grow,
Into a beautiful flower one day.
I took care of it,
Played songs for my seed
Waited and waited,
But no sapling was seen.
I watered it more,
Kept it in the sunlight
Despite my many tries,
Nothing I did felt right
Questioned myself,
About what i did wrong
And realised in the end,
The seed i grew was wrong.
It could never grow,
Atleast not in my little pot
It needed a big place,
To grow and come out.
About this poem
This poem talks about a seed that the poetess, that is me, sowed but it never grew despite putting efforts into it and taking care of it. The inner meaning of the poem is simply how somethings, no matter how much we want, can never be ours because of various reasons.
