Yesterday I looked in the past
At all my mistakes and embarrassments
When I sang the wrong note
Or tripped in front of my crush
Today I look to the present
Not fighting what will happen
Tomorrow I'll look ahead
Into my future

For me,
Escaping doesn't always mean a happy place
Because It's not always about being happy
My escaping place
Could be anywhere from
A library to my room or maybe even the moon
To escape from reality 

I sit in your branches 
Reading my book in the peaceful bliss
The birds chirp and fly around your trunk
Teaching their children how to fly off your tree
The squirrels jump from branch to branch chattering

You have supporters.
We wish you luck against this.
We wish it didn't have to happen.
We hope no one else dies.
We wish you strength, luck, and love.
We wish you safety.
We are afraid. 
We hope you can fight off Putin.

My tree
Is a little maple
I've spent five years growing it
It's a small tree
That's survived big storms and tons of snow
My tree has grown from years of love and care

Trees are just like us
They can be tall or short
Big or small
Colorful
They live and die
The breathe and move
Trees are a beautiful symbol of nature
Their long elegant branches tell stories
