Poem: Grounded

If anyone knew how many times I've been knocked down

They'd be amazed to see me not splattered on the ground 

My heart has been hamburger served for lunch. 

But my spirit stands strong and it keeps walking on. 

All I know of my destiny is one day the earth will swallow me.  I'm only here if I breathe and it's not because I believe!

My bones have all broke from the weight of the sea.

The waves rain down, on top of me they pound. 

Your judgement is lost when found, sticks to the ground. 

Find me in the trees because this is where I am free to be.
