Be A Succulent

Ready to pour out yourself when the world comes knocking at your door

---

Be a Succulent
Be strong enough 
To pack a punch 
And hold a lot of water within

When the world goes dry 
And desert like
It will look for your water 
within you

When that happens 
And it will soon
Be ready to give

Humble and ever present 
Far reaching and unyielding 
Be truly you as you were meant to be 

Don’t bend 
Don’t break
Don’t move
Just be what you were meant to be

The succulent that holds it all in
The succulent that keeps on storing 
For a sunny day

So sunny that it dehydrates 
And causes drowsiness
And the world goes around and around 

Looking for oasis all over
But only gets a mirage in return 
And wishes for water 
Having been starved in famine 

When that happens 
and it will in your favor 
Be ready to split open
And empty all that is within 

And until that day comes
Keep on storing 
Holding 
Expanding 
Growing 

Because the world that ignores you now 
Will come looking for you one day

Thirsty 
Unable to bear the heat 
Of the scorching sun

And on that day 
Sweet day
The world will be yours alone
Wait for it

Peace ✌🏽
