You are who you want to be, not who you are made to be. Be true to yourself and become a tree (not really, just takes chances and branch out a bit)

From the minute we are born
To the last blow of the horn
We have only but time left
For our souls to be departed

Our bodies may be decaying
But our souls may not be breaking
As we live throughout the ages
Our hearts go through pain in our lifetime

Family may be gone, yet they are not forgotten
Our love for them is like cotton
Soft, usable, and picked by strangers
For once I say death is a last resort.
