Red Tree

A lone red tree lost in all the green, like a painting in an empty room

A spattering of life and creativity in a world gone monotone

We search to find that little bit of light in the enveloping darkness

That bright green little Bug with all the bumper stickers in a sea full of cars

That shock of pink hair in the midst of all the blondes and brunettes

A helping hand in all the destruction

A peace in the middle of the chaos

The part that urges us to love amidst all of the hate

Let that push you on in the days of lone

When the depression immobilizes you

When the anxiety locks you away

When the fear keeps you from exploration

Remember that painting in the empty room

Strive to be that red tree in the greenery

Don’t hold back from who you are

Or who you’ll be
