You
Cannot
Take
Away
The
Rights
Of
Those
Who
Have
Nothing
Left

Blanket on ; too hot.
         Blanket off; too cold.
One foot in ; too fast
          One foot out ; too slow.
One caring word; too less.
          One mean insult; too much.
One huge sky; too much blue
           One huge heartbreak ; too less you.
One chance to move on ; too slow to do.
           One chance to stay; too much for you.

People make me sad,
I'd rather love trees,
They don't cut me down.
