The Trees Break More Than The Grass Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The Trees Break More Than The Grass



I wanted to grow big
So that I would be seen
But have ended up with
The victim of jealousy.

I wanted to grow strong
So that I could stand
But have ended up with
The victim of the foes.

I wanted to grow great
So that I would leave my legacy
But have ended up with
The backbiting of the trusted.

Trees break easier than grass.
