The Lonely Tree
There once lived a lonely tree,
The goodness within him he couldn't see,
No one he felt good enough for,
Disappointed with himself to the very core.
One day the tree woke up to a sound,
Blood: Pulsing.
Stomach: Lurching.
Eyes: Blurring.
Palpitations…
Palpitations…
I know you hate me.
Am I all alone in this world that I tread?
Words in my head saying I’m better off dead.
Why is it that there’s so much I dread?
All the lies I’ve been fed…
There is beauty in the river as it flows
The trees whistling in the wind
Running, I keep going
Why isn't anyone else here?
It's only me
Why does it just feel so right?

For I want the ideal numbness, I covet to live in a world watered down with dopamine.
An unconscious mind suffers better than a distraught one that waits for the right time.
Feelings are voluntaryIf I don't want to have them, they will stay in the back of my mindReplace the missing space with musicBlast at full volumeDrown it out
