A Branch

A Branch

A Poem by DeadDreamer

I am a small branch

on a beautifully broken tree.

A small piece of the picture

is all I will ever be.

I am not my own.

I need others to grow.

I wonder when my holder

will finally let me go.

As time passes by

I am left alone.

My leaves fall away

like everyone I have known

(Ever)

But other branches have fallen

and new branches have appeared.

I am no longer the lonely branch

that I had once feared.

As the sun rises

in the sky so new

I see the beauty in life

and everything true.

This is a favorite. I like your view on branches. We do need others to help us grow, we can't do all by ourselves. This also reminds me of a favorite quote it says "Maybe you are searching among the branches for what only appears in the roots" Beautiful poem with deep meaning.
