I am a willow tree
I bend, I do not break.
When the storm breaks over me
all I do is shake.
~
Things may not be simple
things may be hard
but all that happens
to me is….
I may be a little scared.
~
the wind whips me round and round
but I will NEVER be ripped from the ground
for you see
I AM a willow tree.
I may be bent
to the ground.

~
But no matter what happens to me
I am still beautiful
For I am a willow tree.
I may be weeping
but thats okay
because I am still beautiful
in my own way.
~
I am a willow tree
I bend I do not break.
When the storm breaks over me
all I do is shake
my branches may get ripped apart
but new ones grow in.
~
some might call me a marshmallow
but those people do not know
that because I am a willow
my skin can withstand the snow.
~
I am a willow
I am beautiful
I am strong
I will make it
somehow.

There was a time that I thought
I could not move…couldn’t walk..
Couldn’t sing.

I opened my eyes one day,
And breathed…

My eyes were open,
My tounge could move,
I opened my mouth
And screamed…

My eyes saw the truth
For the first time.
My feet already knew the way,
They were just waiting
For the day…

To become unfrozen.

There was a time,
When I thought I couldnt talk,
Could not breathe,
couldn’t walk….

I did something
I thought I would NEVER DO,
I lied to myself to see myself
Through.

Being blind, I just couldn’t see,
That I was not blind at all.

All it took,
Was the simple truth,
To open my eyes and…..

BREATHE.
