"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there
are many dark places; but still there is much that

is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled
with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."
--J.R.R. Tolkien

How I Feel Sometimes

I Can't Grow from The Garden by Michael McLean, Bryce Neubert, and Merrill Jenson:


Dark earth all around.
Trapped here underground.
All I do is wait.
And I hate
How the world keeps turning so slow
And I can't grow.

My friends have all gone
Up there with the sun.
But I've been here so long.
What went wrong?
Are there reasons I should know
Why I can't grow?

Should I stop saying
It's not fair?
Am I less of a failure down here than up there?
Is there a reason
I missed my season?
I don't know
Will I ever grow?

Why am I the one
The only one
Who the sun never will know
Because I can't grow?

What would it be like 
To be grown?
Would I wish for these days in this darkness alone?
Is there a reason
I missed my season?
I don't know 
Will I ever grow?
Will I ever grow?
