When That Growth Hits
You’ll just know
One day you’ll wake up
Gleaming
At the realization
That yesterday is not only
Just a memory
That you can actually remember
But one that doesn’t actually
Haunt you
Rendering the ghost of the past
To one that exists
Outside of You
When That Growth Hits
You’ll see
That through the mirror
You’ll see yourself
As the golden garden
That are your features
Instead of seeing through
Yourself
For the demons that have long rested
Away from Existence
When That Growth Hits
You’ll just notice
Your just existence
Is simply that
You are here
You are present
Like that present
Of golden gardens
In your reflection
Not out here
Not out there
Not out-of-mind
By being in your mind
But just here
A vision of your moment
A vision of your environment
That exists
As you Do
When That Growth Hits
You’ll realize
That those who cut you
Short
Are only cutting the thread
That ties you to them
Not the thread
That ties you
To your worth
Because your vision
Is worth it
So shred the ties
To the toxic moments
Put melatonin
To the toxic environments
Let it go
As you do your Past
When That Growth Hits
You’ll finally move past it
All of this
Deep-dive into your soul
Your mind, heart, and body
Colliding
To form a world
That only knows you
At the end of the day
Your word will fade into you
Your mind will ruminate onto
The soles of your being
Your heart will reflect with
The actions of your being
And your whole
Was built off of the pieces
That you needed
Versus
The ones
That you wanted
–When that Growth Finally Hit.
Description:
When That Growth Hits is a piece that uses repetition to emphasize what growth should look like for those who truly seek it, with each stanza building the reader up to each stage of growth. This is intended to encourage myself and others that the true goal within life is to grow, regardless of wherever we are at and whatever we have done in life. As long as you are better than the person you were before, that's all that matters.
