How Could This Be ?

Started as a seed sprouting out into a tree

This tree grew opportunity, only my two eyes could see

Began to gradually shrink into the palms of my small hand

Falling into destruction quicker than sinking sand

Standing through the sunshine, Drenching in the rain

For me, I thought this was something from which I could gain

But in the end, I wish I would have had a hint of what I knew

This tree carries pain as if my heart’s broken in two

Sprouting and growing colorful leaves all throughout the day

Until night reached and the wind took them away

Got sick and tired of the same harsh daily routine

The tree chose to no longer grow; this is exactly what it had seemed

Looking back on all my current actions and mistakes

This tree’s true experience is one I can relate

Going through confusion and the heartache

It’s just something now that I can no longer take

So what now, do I travel down the same road

It seems to me that all the crap is getting old

The same emotions, thoughts… How could this be?

Is this the person that others can truly see within me?

Why do I continue to let myself do whatever?

As if the sunny days won’t turn into stormy weather

In the same situation when times come around again

Having chances to stop but my mind continues to spin

And I give in

Just left alone feeling anger and hurt

Like I’ve been used and left in the dirt

Telling myself, no, not again, especially not again

Turning against my words like I’ve never even said them

So again, should I go left or should I go right

Tossing in bed all hours of the night

Thinking to myself, which way is best for me

Which way will take me to a place where I’ll be free

These questions still remain; I see why things are still the same

I know this was one obstacle that tree overcame

It may have took time but it still got by

Eventually this tree grew high into the sky

do you see the analogy? What do you think of how I tried to connect nature with life?

You're everywhere, but you kept it together. I guess that's how life is. You never where you're going, even when you're so sure you're going the right way. I can definitely see that in this write. Overall, great write! I enjoyed reading it!
