Uprooted

I used to be a solid oak
Now I am uprooted.

Torn from the ground
Against my will
Now I lie in shambles.

Branches that once reached toward the sky
Strewn against cold hard concrete
A gaping hole where I once lived
Now fills the home I once called mine.

Uprooted

I used to be a solid oak
Now I am uprooted.

Torn from the ground
Against my will
Now I lie in shambles.

Branches that once reached toward the sky
Strewn against cold hard concrete
A gaping hole where I once lived
Now fills the home I once called mine.
