For the longest time, my garden was in a drought
Sometimes I thought I wasn’t meant to grow
Every time I had a drip of success, I would not follow up with more
Inconsistent, not believing I can achieve anything
Having limited beliefs kept me at a level only I could seeI guess eye level, some would say to me,
The sum (some) was the voices of doubt in my head
Subtracting my motivation having divided on what should I do
Leaving me feeling empty with no rest in sight multiple times
That was a fraction of the time, actually that was most of the time
Alright, it was like 99.9%
The whole time (100%) well, the entire time I would lie to everyone, including
My-self, I that was fine
But II’ve could not hide the sadness in my eyes
Blur vision from the tears I’ve cried behind closed doors
Now look at me, blossoming, me
Before I felt the thrones on my side until I rose to the occasion
Poured into myself, not letting those seeds of ego and pride get me down
Having loved one’s check on my progress when I would forget to water my plant
Boundaries allowed me to finally love me and set the standard of what I will and won’t tolerate
It changed my life
As I am writing this piece, I cried
But I used these tears to grow the confidence in me, the unwavering belief in me
I got this
Only I can stop this and won’t stop until I am at the top of whatever I want to accomplish

Isaac, I think most people experience the drought in their lives that you describe. Some droughts are worse than others, but no one is exempt from the thirst they create. I am glad that your drought is over and that you are blossoming into your full potential. Thank you for sharing your experience!
