ROOT

Faraway from the shores of life 

I stood rooted to my thoughts

Thoughts on the path to save my soul from the wreck of pains

Anguish tried to uproot my faith 

I stretched my veins of love 

To overcome the hurricane of temptation 

The barks of regrets stabbed me 

With the sword of violence to retrench me

My branches retreated the attack

With patience tangled with hope

My leaves couldn't leave me to suffer alone

They beared my fruits of victory 

My roots crowned me warrior

My root conquers
