The Broken Tree

The Broken Tree

There is a tree in my yard

And this tree is all twisted and gnarled

Struck by lightning and pushed by winds

This tree surprisingly still stands

This tree is all alone

And can still grow on its own

It can withstand these atrocities

But still can grow just as green

Which can teach us about its philosophies

That even when alone

And even when in pain

A broken tree will still grow green

And this Broken Tree can be

A lot like you

Or me

Strong, Resilient, Fierce

Or you can choose to snap

And stop growing

Stop Flowering

Stop living

But we can be tough like the tree

And be the best that we can be

I decided to write some poetry for my last blog post of the year because I have not written any poetry all year. I'm not very good at writing poetry but I thought I would give it a shot. I hope everyone likes it.
