Against the elements
You battle on
Just a sapling
In the breeze
Standing your ground
On wasteland
No protection
From falling trees
Every year
Growing stronger
Branches reach
Towards the sky
A new beginning
Building roots
A family tree
Now high
The suns light
Filling your leaves
A photosynthesis
Of love
Fully grown
You stand tall
Proud
And look down from above

Busy mummy who loves to read to my children. Will write about anything
Just a little poem that popped into my head. Abandon me in a cave, Throw me to the flames, I will be brave, I will walk away unscathed.
Twisting and curling -. A vine constricting,. Snaking around a trunk, gripping the bark,. Growing in light, hiding in dark,. Turning - spreading - stealing life,. A strangling slow death,.
Her legs lightly tapped her floor. Counting each step... Each breath. Had she been spotted. She'd never blend against the great white that surrounded her, And ironically if she had been spotted...
We are the strong. We are the proud. We are the broken. Who got up when we fell. Our stories are written in dust. Built from broken trails. The frail hands who raise their arms. Despite all the chaos.
You stood tall and mighty,. 'Till they burned you down,. But out of the ashes,. Rose a Pheonix,. Stronger than before,. Now they kneel at your feet,. And beg forgiveness,. Yet nothing can undo,.
I'm digging a hole. To hide from you. I don't know what else to do. I'll try to hide, from your constant abuse , but it's still no use.
I feel lost I feel cold Is the cost What we've been told.
A struggle for life, To live, to survive. Every ragged breath, Decreases chance to stay alive. Too many gasps, A fish starved of water. Written off for certain death, A cow; bred for slaughter.
