I feel like a dead tree
No branches, no bark
Missing my top half
Still standing but could probably be easily pushed over
Fortunately
Those who would be happy to topple me
Pull me up by my roots
Are no longer alive or
No longer capable
I’m not the last man standing
Nor the last tree standing
But I’m still standing
If only for today
Life Matters 
Okay Mr. Patrick Cole. This is an amazing and incredible poem man. I like how you used dead tree and made a figure of speech and personification as if you are talking about a dead person. Anyways, great lines and words in each stanza. I like this one “No branches, a dead tree but still standing, not easily pushed over”👏🔥🔥
