Here is a poem that I did a couple years ago:
Identity
If I could be something else than a human
I want to be a gigantic Oak one that towers above the rest.
One old that was old, and that had brittle leaves and a huge trunk
I all I want to be is an oak who towers above other people and animals
I wouldn’t care if I were old as time because then younger trees
Would leave me alone and animals would also leave me alone
So what I don’t care if I were left alone by others.
I think that the peaceful and be quiet.
Animals would not nest in me
Because I am very old and brittle and
I could break at any given moment.
And I would hurt their babies.
The reason I would want to be an old Oak
Is because I would be individual from the young trees
And they are all young and they would have many animals,
Nesting in them. And believe me that it is very uncomfortable
I like to be tall and not short like those other young trees.
I would not mind if I had a fungus or Ivy growing all over me.
As long as I am alive and that is all that matters to me.
If the humans tried to cut me down I would not care
Because I would let them cut me down.
That is why I want to be an big Oak .
