“I climbed the tree and saw the world.
I saw the reflected sun on the ocean’s face
and the snow topped mountains peaking high in the sky

I climbed the tree and saw the world.
I saw man fight man, and beast kill beast 
I saw humanity cry and fall on it’s knees

I climbed the tree and saw the world.
I saw love found the lost, and the lost find love
I saw the heart of man, so cold, so dark

I climbed the tree and saw the world.
I watched as blame was cast upon
the righteous man, and the wicked walked

I climbed the tree and saw the world.
I saw my fate as a mortal man
I saw my fate as a mortal man

I burned the tree that showed me the world.”

I was a very depressing child. At the same time it’s kind of interesting to see the person I used to be compared to the person I am now.
