The Tree
Look at the perfect and happy tree!
Sitting there with the prettiest of flowers and leaves
But is the tree truly happy with itself?
It really hates the shape of it's trunk
How bumpy it's bark is
How curved and twisted it's branches are
How the flowers it grows are too big, too small, too ugly.
All the tree can do is hate and blame itself
No confidence, no love.
It wishes it was more simple, like other trees.
But all other beings say otherwise
"The tree has such unique bark and such nice curves to it's branches!"
Others are in love with the trees perfect little flowers.
People love everything the tree hates.
all the tree needs is a little self love.
No matter what that tree looks like, you never know what it's going through.
