Alone like a tree

You have a heart
you have the courage
your branches stretch for a hug
your leaves light an free
but the bushes don't understand
they push you away
they taunt you
they have the same genes
but they hate you
the animals take advantage
they bury in your home
you are too kind
to tell them to go away
your heart swells
when humans come near
then they lift their chainsaws
and cut you down
you are dead
your soul worth a penny
as you slowly get carried away
