The iron bars,
Twenty-six strong,
Enclose me,
Hear my cry,
But really,
If a tree falls in the forest,
And no ones there to hear it,
Does it make any sound?
Yes,
But it’s just a tree,
One out of millions,
So plain so small,
So innocent,
Does any one care?
No,
Through and through,
It’s a no.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

This is amazing and and beautiful yet sad. Despite that it maybe short, it still has so much power. It just does have power. What I like about your poem is how, it can be used for life/people too. Because we sometimes ask, does anyone care? A lot of the time, we feel the naswer is no, but someone does care. Haha, I don't know if I make sense; I apologize if I am being rather weird or anything. Congrats on having this voted. you truly deserve it and much more! You have such a talent and greatness and light in you. You're an amazing and wonderful and talented writer. It's true. :) Thank you so much, my friend! For sharing this. And again, congrats! Thank you, again! :)
