Even in my darkest hours, when I am all alone,
I shall keep up the fight, till I am with myself.
All hope is lost, when you stop talking to yourself,
Your greatest grief, someone has slept within.
When you don’t hear a scream within, no feeling of guilt,
When your head swims, and there’s no one for you.
The yourself within you, has powers immense,
It can turn loneliness to solitude, life to a blissful dream.
Friends, they change, family isn’t there for you forever,
But the one that will be with you till your dying day,
Is only you my friend, you!
Inspired by this tree that I saw in a park

Before seeing the picture of the tree I had taken it to a whole different context ….The last lines are very impactful.

To be honest, I was sleeping, and woke up 5 minutes before the quiz! I knew quite a lot of the answers, but I made some educated guesses too.
How about you?

It went great! Obviously there were some logical guesses but remaining I could do without any problem. It was good to see for the first time, a competition related to history being conducted here.

It looks like that tree has put up quite a fight or is it natural for it to grow that way? Either way, your ability to create something so personal from a walk in the park is extraordinary.

When I asked a nearby gardener, he told me the tree fell apart due to the germination of a plant inside the tree!
And thank you so much for the lovely comment 😀
