my life as a plant

Aug 07, 2004 19:16

today i was pulling weeds in my dads garden in the back yard and i got about half way through and then i had one of thoes weird moments where i relate things (like my pirets of the carribean thery on love) in my head and no one really seems to get it but here it is anyway...we have a corner of our back yard blocked off by little wooden post to make a garden..there is about 3 small tress and few small plants a 6ft pink flamigo and alot of little baby plants in back pots ..and more weeds than there is grass in my back yard most of the plants are things my dad planted..we had sum kind of vegg. and stuff in there at one time but they died. we where haveing one of thoes family moments in the back yard where everyone starts working on one thing (paining the house and shead ) and ends up working on sumthing totaly diffrent. well my totaly diffrent thing was pulling the weeds out of the garden. so i just kinda started pulling away..after about 5 min i found out there where like 6 other pots that where compleetly hidden in the weeds that i didnt see be4..so i take them out and clean them off and set them aside along with the other ones. and keep pulling the weeds out and tossing them aside..after a long time i realized that what i was doing was kinda pointless cuz its like trying to get all the sand off of the beach with a spoon. so my sumone suggest that i use the weed wacker..me being the smart person that i am do that and get it out and weed wack away...(useing protective glasses cuz they were hitting me in the face and didnt want it to get in my eye) it was going really good all the little weeds where chopping off and it was really cearing out..i was proud..then i get to the back corner and there are these 2 big weeds that come to my waist. i put the weed wacker down and try to pull them out by hand but i couldnt..i tried and tried but i couldnt then i tryed to chop them off with the weed wacker. and it started to chop the outer part of the bark off a little. then i noticed that it wasnt really doing anything at all. so i turn the weed wacker off and look down and the stupid weed broke off both of the strings to little nubbies. so then i decited that if the weed was that big then i should just stay there.
what i learned from this
the things in ur life are kinda like a garden..u plant ur life (friendships, school, family) in little black pots and put them in side tomato cage to keep them safe from the world (the weeds). and u kind let them grown on there own. and u forget about them..u see them there but u dont really think about it. u come back a few days later and see a few little small weeds...u think "o look new plants they must be weeds eh ill take them out later they are just small" and u never do..u get carried away with other things u think are improtant and forget about u life in the little black pots. u come back a few weeks later and u see alot of weeds. u think "o wow look at all the weeds well its ok my plants are still safe they are in the tomato cage and in pots..it will be ok" then u just go off and dont come back for a while..then one day when ur out there looking at ur garden u realize "hey the weeds took over EVERYTHING..they grew inside the pots and killed my life (the plants)" and u go in and try to save them and realize that they have took such deep roots in ur life that u can get it out...and u have no choice but to give up and walk away
still dont get it
in ur life u cant let evil things in at all (drugs, bad friends, anything that u know is not right) or they will take over little by little. and grow roots in ur life that are bigger and stronger than u and u cant get it out. the weeds will consume u. take over ur life.. and there is nothing u can do about it...
got any weeds? pull them out now..be4 they get bigger
