A Branch Of Me

Walking around in the night
I see a large dark object
Positioned in the middle of a forest

I walk towards it
Noticing that as I get closer
That it's only a tree

But the closer I get
The more interesting it looks
Each branch having it's own form

I ponder for a moment

I conclude that the tree
Can represent ourselves
And each branch is a unique part of us

Each branch more unique
As you go from bottom to the top

The more intriguing the branch is
It represents a more special part of us

I see this one branch though
It doesn't look special at all
It looks horrific and dead

It's the one thing about myself
I don't want to change
That branch is my heart
