Branches


Through the branches I climb
 
With scrapped knees and joyful giggles
 
The innocence
 
The ignorance
 
As my young body rose and conquered
 
I slipped, falling through the branches
 
               Not able to grasp
 
To the blissful moments 
 
                                         Keeping me young.
 
The sudden responsibilities and blames to assume 
 
add to the heavy years pushing
 
My bruised body that has been slammed to the ground
 
Yet I realize I am
 
Able
 
To climb despite the massive weight;
 
Strong
 
To carry the dreadful memories pull me down
 
As I fall through the branches I am
 
    Able
 
              To grasp
 
Onto my own strength and confidence
 
The previous experience of falling
 
Gave me the experience my body needed
 
To heal while I conquer
 
                                        The branches
