Prompt #15

My bamboo roots and shoots are the reflection of the person I wish to be. I cannot say that I am there; for I am not even a shoot, or even a thought of a shoot, or even a thought of a thought of a shoot. As of now, I am simply trying to make my roots apparent to the world I live on. I am slowly contributing to the nutrients of the world growing and expanding in the soil I wish to call time. Once I break out of the time I am stuck in, my roots will sprout--When that will be? I cannot say. If I were even close to a shoot, I would be afraid of my own success. It sounds funny, but let me explain my humor in the fact that who I am now is probably not nearly who I will be in the future. The future for me is spending each hour of the day doing something I love. My future is the need to create something beautiful to share with the world. I want to take my soul and my talents and make an impression on anything and everything that passes me by. I don't know what that is, how that is, who that is, or when that is, but I do know this: My future and my full grown shoots will never, ever be complete, for I will grow an internal sense of intelligence and self awareness until the day I die. Until then, I will water each shoot with confidence and awareness and try to fully understand my potential on this world. I will keep my balance and my realization of my being and do my ultimate best to make my newly formed roots into a bamboo masterpiece; even if I am the only one who thinks so.
