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 ✌🏽
