The lonely tree



The lonely tree :
 A tree it  falls alone it falls on no body ,
That tree it  falls in silence no one there to see ,
No one there to feel the impact on the ground ,
No one there to watch it’s death nor there to hear the sound ,

This loneliness I struggle to articulate ,
It smothers my existence it depicts my fate ,
If only I could rise above,
 take back control,
And end the constant battle between mind and soul

These pills are doing nothing to recalibrate ,
I can not let theses wee white devils seal my faith ,
I’ll  dig down deep inside until I find the
Pain .
Then put in place the sun shine and remove the rain .

I’ll keep fighting this disease until my mind breaks free ,
To recreated that Clip from verve’s sweet symphony ,
I’ll bolster down the town with my head held up high ,
Then cast away the shackles and away Ill fly .
