Willow

Mostly I stand tall, Strong enough to hold your weight Distributing the pain As if It ails me not at all But then you test my gravity, so carelessly Without realizing you're heavy I stoop Beneath your ego And you still don't feel my pain My head bent low, My tears hit the grass Burdened With your shame My arms break from lifting you so high Yet you insist you do nothing You twist my wrists so Many times So I will fit your stories So you can live your life of lies, You spend your time Quieting me What you don't realize is I'm weakening, from always keeping you Afloat One day I'll break and you will fall Shunned by Your weeping willow
