I like trees, thanks to Tolkien and...
"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you as well as you deserve." -Bilbo Baggins, The Fellowship of the Ring Just Kidding!  I love you all!  People are interesting to me and the passionate ones are inspiring.  I wrote "All By Yourself" as a kind of a memorial for this guy I fell in love with when I was 18.  He was awesome and he broke my heart a million times.  Anyway, he was a good person, but for reasons unknown to me he was a major player.  The spark that ignited this poem came when he texted me two years later and I realized how I was happy and he was alone, just a word at the bottom of a eulogy.  Dead to me.
