I don't know if I should toss this out or try to tighten it up.. But it was fun!

The orchard

I grew up on a farm, happy as could be

in the orchards, where the sun was always shining on me.

As I've grown older, I have witnessed my friends all leave or die.

Either way they are no longer by my side...

Days pass, life is beginning to feel blurred

Cold and alone in this place I once loved... My little slice of heaven, the orchard.

Now a days the sun seems to be a burden, not quite as sweet..

Please grant me shade from this god forsaken heat.

I just want to end it, I can't do this anymore..

I may be beautiful on the outside, but this life has made me rotten to the core.

So here I am, hanging from a tree.. In my little slice of hell... Just the orchard and me...

not sure now, if I am alive, or if i am dead.. But i can feel the black birds coming... wanting to be fed

I never imagined dying this way.. being eaten by black birds, hanging from a tree... Just the birds, the orchards, and me..

I don't want you to read this and walk away sad...

Just keep in mind, life as an apple isn't always this bad.
