I was planted in the dark
Was watered by the rain
Sloughing off from the bark of my neighbours

I pushed outside my shell
And ate up all the dirt that would stop me
From reaching the sun

Naked and trembling I learned how it works
The tallest and biggest will always feed first
I lapped up the leavings and whispered through leaves
One day, I'll grow up like you

I learned to thread my roots
Learned the warp and weft
Tightened my grip on them slowly

I learned to be a leech
To drink the elders dry, serves them right
Thought they'd steal all my sunlight

Fragile and dying, they learned how it works
The smallest and smartest will learn to feed first
Out of the woodwork and in on the breeze
Grow up to look just like you

I fought my way to life
I grew to love the dark
Hiding my shoots blooming strangely

I have counted every breath
Watched your every step
Someday I will taste the sunlight

Skin cinched like hand-me-down clothes, I convulse
I'll stop your heartbeat to feel my own pulse
Stretching my nerves out for warmth within reach
Waiting to feel something new
