Tori's Liberation

I’ve been planted here since I was but a cutting;

First given much sun and then all too little;

Much water, then all too little.

But against all odds I grew.

Even though I was left in the shade to wilt and die;

Even though I was left to drought;

I found the light that nourishes me within myself.

And here, I let the waters of prosperity wash over me;

And here I take root.
