If there is a still tree.  There must be no wind.  But wind will eventually come.  And when that moment happens, most people never notice.  Sometimes it's fast, almost simultaneous.  But other times, its slow.  And you see each branch slowly start to move like the others.  Until the whole tree is engulfed in wind.  Until the tree is no longer still.  Nor even itself.  For the tree is now the wind.  The branches move wherever the wind happens to go.  The tree loses itself.  But nevertheless, the wind will stop.  The tree will be still again.  And when that happens the tree becomes itself again.  Although it does have a few less leaves, and maybe even a few less branches.  The tree is itself again.  This moment, this transformation, however, is rarely ever noticed.

Ree Bunch
I don’t want to talk,
So pretend I’m sleep.
I don’t want to eat,
I’ll just drink tea.
I rather not be touched,
Human contact; not in your dreams!
I’m quiet for a reason;
Are you too blind to see?
I’m having a ****** day,
Where no one knows what to say.
So, if you like the “nice” Ree,
Good advice is to let me be!
Just one of those days

It doesn't matter if you laugh or if you cry
Me and you will both eventually die
So please live the way you want to
Because I know my life is about me, and not about you

Us kids need to thank our adults.
They've given us everything we have.
They've given us a body, and a voice along with it.
They've given us a home, and a bed to sleep in.
They've given us an education, and a degree to prove it.
Thank you for giving us everything.

But lets not forget the just as important things.
They've given us the war, and racism along with it.
They've given us gender roles, and the homophobia along with it.
They've given us gangs, and the violence that comes along with them.
They've given abuse, and the scars to prove it.
Thank you for everything you've given us.
But most of us wont listen, or care, we are changing this world.
But we couldn't have changed it without you,
So thank you for everything you've given us.
I am not trying to say that all adults are hurting my generation, my only purpose with this poem is to show that not everything in this world is designed for my generations success. My generation is taking the torch of many age old fights that my parents and parents-parents and their parents couldn't finish.  ):)

Everything we do,
Everything we say,
It affects us,
And whoever we're around every day.

But this does not mean for us to change,
It does mean we don't speak our voice,
This just means we know,
And with that we can rejoice.

I think its funny
How when I say 'Goodbye'
You think thats opportunity to say 'Hi'
Its not
You better Stay away
Or I'll give you something to say
