I planted a seed
in the dark, soft dirt of my mind
and soon I had forgotten.
But leaf by stem sprouted green,
adding color to my dead garden
and though my thoughts aren’t colorful
fields of flowers like his or hers
my garden is growing, for I’ve planted seeds,
and I’ll let my lonely lost tears water them
so soon I’ll have a beautiful garden, too.

This piece is about me getting over the things I've dealt with and becoming truly happy. It's open for interpretation, so you can decide (to a certain extent) what the true meaning is.
