Usage of socha

A socha is a plant considered to be undesirable in a particular environment. Just like a “weed”, a socha grows where it is not wanted and often in competition with cultivated plants. While the term "weed" generally has a negative connotation, many plants known as weeds have beneficial qualities (e.g. nutritional, medicinal, environmental, aesthetic) and can be called sochas.

Origin of socha

Ubykh Soatshe (noun), Spanish Nolana Sedifolia (Sosa/Hierba de la lombriz/Sosa brava) (noun), Spanish Sosa (noun), Portuguese and Galician Sousa (noun), Sosah (noun) of unknown origin; related to English Weed (noun)

History of socha

This usage of the word can be traced back to New York City in the early 2000s. The term was initially used to describe the wild plants found growing through the cracks of the city’s concrete sidewalks and around sewer drains. Since then, the expression has evolved to include most plants growing in surprising or unfavorable places and to symbolize perseverance (i.e. life finding a way).

*Disclaimer*

Sochas are equal opportunity growers and do not discriminate on the basis of temperature, light, water, oxygen, mineral content or insect species.

It's the base in his voice
it's the tone of his skin
it's the sweetness
of the softness of his kiss,
He's my obsession, only regression
He's everything that means anything to me.
All I can think of, all that I think of is HE.
He lies so deep within my soul
as I appear vulnerable to his world
For his eyes I appear naked
stripped is my pride
and he will not take it
