The Tree

Some see your for your beauty But I only see the pain No one at all can see inside Life travels on just like a train So strong you are, so full of life But there's something they can't know Deep inside the roots, a ghost through each season darkness grows A face so unforgiving guilt builds just like a trap It sucks you in, you can't escape When will the branch just snap Some see you for your flowers But I only see the knots You can't ignore the twisted roots the silent struggle as they rot Buried deep for all to see Right there you stand so tall But you can only take so much One day, you too shall fall
