Weed Does Not Wither
The story
There's an old German saying that weeds don't wither, and I have tested it more than once. I've fallen far enough to think it was the end, and every time it turned out to be a shift in the tide. In the ruins I didn't find ashes, I found my core. No chapter is the last while you are still writing it. Roots deep, gaze far: that is how you get through a winter.
Lyrics
Verse 1: I am Roman, a weed that won’t concede, With roots so deep, they anchor every deed. I’ve fallen, yet risen, no depth too profound, No fall so great that I can’t rebound. In the ruins of dreams, I uncovered my core, Not just ashes, but a phoenix set to soar. It wasn’t the end, but the start of my plight, The crisis forged me, like stone under light. Chorus: I am Roman, like a book self-penned, No chapter is the last while my heart transcends. Not a downfall, but a shift in the tide, A weed doesn’t perish; it endures, it abides. Verse 2: I sought riches in gold but found them in being, In life’s chaos, I found my own meaning. Not lost, but woven anew in life’s intricate weave, In the depths of existence, my spirit achieved. Words are my weapons, sharp as a blade, No cut too deep, no shadow too great. I’m the stone unmoved by the river’s force, A spirit that never diverts from its course. Chorus: I am Roman, like a book self-penned, No chapter is the last while my heart transcends. Not a downfall, but a shift in the tide, A weed doesn’t perish; it endures, it abides. Bridge: Roots buried deep, yet my gaze reaches far, I’ve learned that flames don’t just burn; they are. Hope rises in darkness, when the night’s at its height, A single spark is enough to reignite the light. I am no slave to time; its rhythm I guide, My life is the verse, with each beat I reside. A weed doesn’t wither, it thrives and grows, Even through winter, where the cold wind blows. Chorus: I am Roman, like a book self-penned, No chapter is the last while my heart transcends. Not a downfall, but a shift in the tide, A weed doesn’t perish; it endures, it abides. Verse 3: I’ve danced with shadows, yet I stand in the sun, Every battle I’ve faced, every war I’ve won. In the silence of doubt, I discovered my voice, In the face of despair, I made my choice. No storm could drown the fire in my soul, Each challenge, a step toward making me whole. I’m not the echoes of past, but the drum of the now, A force unyielding, I’ll rise and avow. Outro: I am Romian, unbroken, unbeaten, Life may carve me, but it’s my song that’s written. Each line, each verse, a testament of might, That a weed won’t wither; it flourishes in light. Spoken I am Romian, with I Not less AI more I If you feel it, its real Harem. Salam. Tschagg. Tom. Pai.
