Tree

What happens to a tree when it fall when no one is around.

Does it even hit the ground does it even make a sound.

When a tree falls is anyone there to notice it.

Is it something worth noticing does anyone see it.

When a tree hits the ground does anyone know it's there.

Does anyone even try to help does anyone even ever care.

When a tree hits the ground. Does it ever really fall.

Was it worth falling? Was it ever okay did it ever stand tall?

When a tree hits the ground why is no one there to see.

Is it because it isn't worth the trouble after all it is just a tree.

When a tree falls does it wish someone was there to catch it.

Tell it everything will be better stand with it through all its bull shit

When a tree falls can it even make a sound.

Has it just given up knowing that no one will ever be around.

Does it ever really hit the ground. Does it ever make a noise.

Is ever told it is much more than a tree that it's life is it choice.

When a tree hits the ground does it whisper its name.

Hoping that maybe it will won't be forgotten after all. That it's life wasn't just a shame.

Does it call out hoping someone can hear it. That someone understands.

Does anyone ever have the time to know where the tree stands.

When a tree falls is it even worth a funeral.

Even though it served a purpose it doesn't seem to deserve a memorial.

When a tree falls does anyone ask why.

That maybe life was to tough and it was easier to simply die than to try.

Does anyone hate the tree for decaying inside out.

Does it truly make no noise or is no one there to hear it's shouts.

When a tree falls doesn't it ever feel at peace.

When it watched its siblings fall and chopped piece by piece.

Does a tree ever cry. Does it ever fall because it has given up.

That it has come to peace with the fact that no on gave a fuck

When a tree falls. Is it's leaves forgotten too.

Do they not float in the wind leaving its legacy and what its been through.

Does it weep like a willow. Does it blossom like a cherry.

Does anyone even care is it something worth sharing.

Is it's roots not strong enough to hold the weight of the world.

Was it to thick and ugly to ever be heard.

When a tree falls does anyone truly care about it

Especially since no one was there to see or witness it.

When it falls doesn't finally get to be considered part of natures Beauty.

Does it finally shine bright enough for everyone to see.

Does anyone have the tiniest bit of empathy.

Does anyone even remember the fallen tree.
