The Tree
February 17, 2016
The tree, leaves so green, flowers so bright
Is
Sad.
Its leaves are dropping,
Dripping
With
Rain,
Filled with despair.
The tree, leaves so green, flowers so bright,
Is
Happy.
Hugging me
With
Shade,
Filled with joy.
The tree, leaves so green, flowers so bright,
Is
Scared.
Shaking
In the
Wind,
Filled with fear.
I miss those days when
The tree, leaves so green, flowers so bright,
Would tell me
How it felt.
But now I'm grown;
Now I know
That trees cannot do such.
But wait.
Is that the tree
Saying he's crushed?
I can feel the tree beaming with pride
When I decide to stop
And
Say
Goodbye.

One of my first poems. This one is pretty old, but I don't think it's too terrible...
It's basically about how our views change as we get older and move on with our lives and stuff, but we still try to hold onto a piecce of childhood so as not to lose our youth entirely.
