Once Dead

ONCE DEAD

There is a tree under the sun. A tree with trees. A tree without flowers and leaves. A tree with thorns in its trunk. A tree with panicking ants. A tree full of scratches. A living tree but looks like dead.

     Many people do not notice this tree. Maybe because it seems ugly or looks like it doesn't exists. But little they do not know that this tree is the best of all trees cause it has its thorns and scratches that made itself a beautiful and blooming tree.
There were these unexpected happenings that made this tree lost its leaves and flowers that was soon replaced by scratches. It swallowed a thorn like Darna swallowing the white stone to be a hero. But unlike Darna, this tree didn't became a hero. It became no one, nothing, like it's already dead. Just because of that thorn, the scratches appeared all throughout its trunk, spiders leave webs into it like a dead who was buried for decades. But it has its ants who are panicking to save it from death and grief, the ants whose se persevere and hopeful that someday it will bloom again and have its flowers and leaves.
Until one day, people start to notice this once dead tree when they saw that this tree is starting to bloom again, have its flowers and leaves, removing its webs, removing the thorn but still decided to let the scratches stay with its trunk for that made itself a living proof that life has hope and we have to never lose it. These scratches will serve as its marks of success and achievements that she gained after all the challenges. Well, thanks to these ants who never left this tree alone and lonely. Also, thanks to this sun for inspiring this tree that after darkness, there'll be light.
     Anyway, I am Via, once tree full of thorns (challenges and problems), webs (marks of oldness/death, scratches (marksbof success), who was once dead but now rising and living with so much strength and still ready to swallow another thorn to defeat and gain more scratches for marks of success.
