growing underneath a track
the root kept pushing until it went into another direction entirely
the root found a space, an opportunity
so it grew and endured
lonesome but alive
it blossomed into a bright flower
it thrived even though insects chewed its flesh
it survived through weeds and most of all the painful track
the track that pinned down this plant
it limited the plant from the day it was born
it was just a part the plant
a part that, despite overcoming other obstacles, the plant just couldn't defeat
and then there was night
the track vibrated and then started to shake
the plant was finally going to be free
it hurt
the root had been pinned for so long the slightest movement felt like dying but
this plant had another opportunity
just like it found a way to grow, to push and find sun
the plant would push and liberate itself
and find sun once again
ignoring the pain, it strained upwards
the track was shaking harder
and light came slow at first
but now increasing in speed
the flower stopped
it knew it was the start of a new beginning
the light came by fast
the plant felt a sharp pain
none other like any pain it felt before
it was if a heavy track stood onto it
crushed it with no mercy
it was quick but it was as if time slowed down and all there was pain
disappointment
loneliness
betrayal
there was no more light
and night lasted forever for this sunflower
