Survival 
The harsh winds bend me every day,

They deflower me and and cause so much pain.

My stems are breaking & my soil is loosening 

but the roots i was blessed with keeps me grounded.


My colour drains, my leaves stain,

the sun dries my water as the bees steal my nectar 

my sweetness is cleared 

now its only bitterness there.


The ants leave me at piece

 when it's task should be to tear my leaves

So I expect the unexpected 

and wait for when the harsh winds become a light breeze.
