It's Not Easy

Fighting my way through
Fighting against the norms
Fighting for my own growth
Fighting just to be me
Fighting to spread my branches
Fighting for sunlight ,for my leaves
Fighting to grow more leaves than I have shed
Fighting to let my blossoms bear fruit
It’s not easy to be a tree
It is not easy to be me……..
