Growth Poem by Esther Hadassah Sendeza

See, part of growth is being vulnerable.
Its letting people in,
Its opening up to situations and worlds,
Its stepping into unpredictable scenarios,
And not having a clue how it all ends up.
Its stepping out of the comfort zone.

Growth is watering yourself through the desert.
It's when you keep going regardless.
It is learning to do better or differently,
While trying so hard not to shut down, when it gets difficult along the way.

Growth is not simple.
Because at every stage,
It requires a different version of you.
Because the elevations to the next level
Become harder and harder..

Different, surprising, unpredictable.

But there's beauty in growth,
You just have to open your eyes and see it.
