I Am A Tree

I Am A Tree

A Poem by Savannah Bly
"

I am a tree

I am a tree


I am a tree

Standing tall and firm

Against the world

I’ve been marked

To be cut down by humans

Most of my family and friends are gone

I don’t want to be used for paper

I don’t want to be used by humans at all

Every branch, every leaf is a part of me

And I don’t want to let go of it

I just hope that people recycle me

So the rest can be saved

This isn’t how I’d like to be cut down

No, this isn’t right at all

 

Two decades have passed

and the nightmare of illusion lingers

in my mind to stay

but I thank the heavens for the blessing of life

My friends and family still here

Because we give beauty

To those who truly see

As we stand

Tall and firm against the world
