The Strength to Grow

Roots run deep and branches wide,

I walk alone, but with pride.

Through challenges, I’ll never hide,

For self-reliance is my guide.

Through darkened skies and raging storms,

I stay true to my own forms.

The strength I need, I’ve always known,

It grows within, it’s fully grown

I don’t rely on fleeting trends,

Or wait for others to make amends.

With grit and grace, I build my flow,

Self-reliance helps me grow.

With every twist, and every turn,

I’ll stand my ground, I’ll always learn.

In every struggle, I find my way,

Self-reliance lights my day.
