I am a Tree.
It does not hurt me when you say:
''You chubby, you could lose some weight,
put a little make-up, wear something tight?
Other girls are prettier than You.''
I am a Tree.
It does not get into me when you say:
''You look so funny today,
What did you put on your head,
You look like a bear.''
Well, maybe i wanted to make you laugh.
I am a Tree.
It does not hurt me when you yell at me
for no reason, because you had a shitty
day at work, or i did something wrong,
so you want to teach me a lesson.
I am a Tree,
It does not hurt me when you say:
''You are so crazy, maybe you should
try to be normal for a while?''
Well, last time i checked,
humor never gets out of a style.
I am a Tree.
It does not feel a thing when you say:
''Could you do it better? You know what,
just leave it like that, it doesn't even matter.''
I am a Tree.
It doesn't not hurt me when you say:
''I don't want nothing serious,
you seem kinda oblivious,
So I'm just going to take you for granted
sorry Dear, at least I'm being honest.''
I am a Tree.
And Because I am A Tree,
I do not have a feelings.
I do not have plans.
I do not have dreams.
I do not feel your lies,
I Do not have emotions,
Cause Tree does not cry.
But I don't mind,
if you're taking me
as I am a Tree.
Like a Tree,
I will stand,
Secure and hard
On my own Land,
Where my Flowers
will Grow.
I will get though
all weather conditions.
Feeling the pain
in that October rain,
That April's wind
in the spring
And flourish with The Sun,
Smiling on and on.
And all kind of people would
pass me by.
Someone would pour the water,
Taking care of me,
Cause they want to see Me grow, and my branches with the weather to flow.
Someone will write its name
and then will disappear for good,
Cause I am just another Tree in the wood.
Someone would want to cut me forever,
But i will get only stronger and braver.
And as time goes on
I will stand here,
Fight though the time and space,
Accepting that Life Embrace.
Crying with the Rain,
and Smiling with The Sun.
And as time goes on
Like a Tree i will stand,
With the heart of a gold,
and strong as a stone:
I will never be gone.
