I am a tree
Though sometimes I don't feel like it
Strength can escape me
But I'm still standing
Even if I'm leaning
I am the ocean
Even if I'm not at all like it
You can only see the surface
I'm deeper beneath
More than you can ever dream
I am the sky
When I feel like it
Always watching over you
Wherever you are
I'll be there with you
I am a mountain
Though I'm not as tall
Never changing who I am
Even if parts of me grow different
Or I start to fall
I am your earth
Though I don't have all you need
I revolve around you
Hanging on nothing
Just waiting for you

I wrote this piece today and it is still a work in progress but I thought I'd see what other people think of it.
