I Am a Tree


I am a tree You may see something strong But I see me as weak Is this person really me? Weak, it's overused Those who aren't strong Those who cry Or are beaten, broken and bruised But what does strong mean? One who is smart Or one who lifts cars To feel like a hero being seen That's all they want, a hero That will save them in troubling times They try to make me that for them But I feel like an absolute zero What do they want me to do? I can't lift them to the sky I break, fail and fall too easily Why do they turn to me and not to you?
