reasons i pick weeds over plants
October 4, 2018
i like weeds
because
even though
they are deemed
as bad
they still find a way
to grow
and live
we may pull up their
roots
but they always
come back
strong
and some weeds
are very beautiful
and i think
we should
aspire for that

This piece talks about how we as humans should be like weeds; natural on the outside and strong on the inside. As well, we are all different, just as weeds are. Whenever you pull up the weeds in a garden, often the next day they are growing back. I think this should be a metaphor for the way we should live; some days we may be pulled at the roots, but the next day we should come back stronger than before.
