do not cut me up
I am not a tree stump,
do not cut me up.
I am not a tree stump,
do not burn me up.
I am not a tree stump,
but you can count my lines
and find my age.
I am not a tree stump,
do not mess this up.

You are not a tree stump,
you are far way too blunt.
You are not a tree stump,
you aren't a place to rest on.
You are not a tree stump,
but at least you had worth like one.
You are not a tree stump,
you are blind, not sharp

because once you said you
found me
perfect,

but now I am just a tree stump;
do not cut me up.
