Damage

Damage Like any tree Broken by storm Will grow again Anew Into other branches And other reaches But never again To be The originally Conceived Full grown Tree Like any child Damaged by storms Will grow again A new Into other pathways And other destinies But never again To be The originally Conceived Full grown Human

The unexpected and often unwanted obstacles of our journey eventually change us all. I like to think for the better. I don't believe that, however, I do believe there is good and bad to most situations, but it takes a while to see the good. Your writes are so serious. I am already depressed today. Hey, I have an idea. Can you write a funny poem??? : ) Bet it would be awesome. Everything you write is. Big hugs, Shar xoxo

Colin, paranoia and truth can sometimes be confused, but a wounded a soul only knows one and they choose to retreat because they are unwilling to risk the danger...I can't fault them for that.....awesome write here and thanks for the comments.
