... Nobody knows but the ground I grew up on.For the most, part the metaphor you chose shows the disappointments that experience brings, namely, people who don't know you dismiss you, and until they know you they will continue to do so. This is what an American novelist called CATCH-22, he meant a situation that traps you, no way out of it. B-U-T that line I quoted at the top of the page shows someone knows the true you - Mother Nature, the ground itself. Can Mother Nature be your advocate? Or at least your consolation?
