The Red Tree - Ralph Morley




Inspired by the works of Shaun Tan

The Red Tree
Sometimes your words just have no meaning to others,
And at times, time seems to laugh at every slow tick it takes,
And everything around you doesn't fit,
You just feel like you are bottled up and forgotten,
And you slowly float around waiting and hoping for something to happen,
When all along happiness was right by your side, and it just needed to be found.
