Body - Tree of Life
This is my body.
My own tree of life.
My scares & my strips.
That felt pain overtime.
It's true I have branches.
That are strong but can break.
With the world trying to handle me.
With the energies they take.
I can rebuild myself.
Though it may take sometime.
So, if I cut you off or don't speak a word.
It's because my branches are breaking in pieces and silence is preferred.
The silence isn't personal.
Though I would understand if that is how it is perceived.
I would just ask that you be merciful.
In my time of grief.
Because, this is my foundation.
And my way of life.
And if I can't fix it.
Then there is no way that I will be alive.
