I feel like an old oak tree, That no one can climb. As my branches are too fragile, As you get up so high. I feel oh so hollow, Still Ill let no one inside. I disguise my rotten core, With my thick, strong hide. I stick out like a sore thumb, But there no need for a hospital. As my wounds make me weak, And Ill never show pain at all. As too be a strong oak, You can’t let yourself tumble. So if I let someone in, I might just crumble.

To be an oak
I feel like an old oak tree, That no one can climb. As my branches are too fragile, As you get up so high. I feel oh so hollow, Still Ill let no one inside. I disguise my rotten core, With my thick, strong hide. I stick out like a sore thumb, But there no need for a hospital. As my wounds make me weak, And Ill never show pain at all. As too be a strong oak, You can’t let yourself tumble. So if I let someone in, I might just crumble.
