Redwoods

Plenty Of Time To Grow

By Josh MorganPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I needed to take some time away, had to get away from it all

Take a day to make my way through the woods and watch the leaves fall

I'm sorry I missed your call, I was out in the woods

Out of the hoods that I would call home

Watching the water fall, down the waterfall, as I roam

Thinking about the sidewalk I would walk on

And see the artwork on the street that was chalk drawn

A much easier time, I wish I could go back to those days

But sometimes, I feel like I've been called me to pave a way

And it's okay, if you need to take a day, away for yourself

To keep those demons away from yourself

Because we all have them, but you're strong, like a redwood, standing tall

And you'll remember, that you had all you needed all along

And all those demons in the hood, you can just watch them fall

About the Creator

Josh Morgan

Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.
