Nature Man

Growing like a Tree

By Abigail gracePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

A tree

Is once an amature

One with utterly no experience of survival

Only genetic code

That screams

"Well guess I'm alive now, better deal with it"

A lowly seed

transforming into brittle branches

A thin junky

Scouring for their next dose

Doubting their lifespan

Only to make it out of the trivial stage

We call adolescence

To become

A vibrant powerhouse

Holding a zoo's worth of organisms

Within itself

A queen of the planet Earth

And the most popular source

Of a vital resource

Referred to as air

The main reasons humans

Even function today

Was once likely to fail

To die as a rotten hunk of wood

Now brings life every nation

So why can't you

Be a strong intellect

Flattening your oppressors

Beneath your might

Or hold your head up strong

To get through today's nightmare

Make hearts gush

and open your beautiful eyes

to the fact that

you are just a tree

About to be watered
