Armor Made of Leaves
Locations
There was a time when I was a tree
A big, sturdy tree, a tree that was made from the skies
to send a message from the angels to help the world become more beautiful
The fall had started and fall I did
I stood tall while my trunk started to be kicked,
While my branches started to be climbed on.
I am a tree. I am something. I would say.
They came and painted me with vulgar words and hatred among my trunk,
for each word they tore a twig off my lovely branches, for each sneer they would burn my branches in front of me.
I am a tree..I am something..I would say.
The day turned to night as a light shined on me, they have attacked in my weakest moment for I cannot see in this neverending darkness.
My leaves were slowly torn off while sinister laughter replaced them.
I am growing weak, please stop.
I am a tree...I am something...I would say.
A fence was built around me as my fellow trees tried to help.
I feel trapped.
I feel scared.
I feel nervous. When will they come back?
The fence was torn down, my safe place was gone.
The winter had come and I had gone for they burned my trunk and watched in amusement.
Ashes lay, and one leaf floats, still alive, but wishing it would die.
I am a leaf. I am nothing. I now say.
