You there

Under the willow

Why do you weep so

Your fists clench

Your teeth grate

You rock back and forth

Eyes puffy and bloodshot

Curled up in a ball

You there

Under the willow

I don’t understand, no?

It’s a nice summer day

The birds are chirping

Critters frolicking

Sun shining down

With a breeze

You there

Under the willow

Why do those tears flow

Take a breath

Dry those eyes

Let the sun in

Feel alive
