No matter how far behind you are or how slow you progress you are still way ahead of anyone whos not trying

The tree of death
Branches reaching out to consume the world in darkness
Calm even near death
The tree of death forever in the shadows
Sad may I be but forever with the decaying tree
He has no friends
Neither do I
Forever am I by the tree of death
