Oddly enough, this may fit the situation, but it really is what I had last copied.

Oh yeah, this. We're doing poetry in AP Lit
Treehouse

We all want a treehouse, if at least as a kid.
A place we can climb up and be above everyone else,
our own secret hideout.
But... there aren't that many treehouses in this day and age.
Why is that? Treehouses are beautiful things...
Why are people not building them?

First of all, a treehouse is many things to many people,
and for a single person, a treehouse can have many purposes.
So each is unique.
But that doesn't REALLY answer the question,
the REAL issue of the matter.
The lack not of trees but of houses in them.
The presence of neglected wooden planks in the towers of wood,
observed only in select people's backyards.

So I ask again, why is this happening?
Who is to blame?
It's this wonderful thing called society.
It's this thing we all live in and,
willingly or otherwise,
subject ourselves to daily.
It dictates our life outside of the safeties of our own homes,
and sometimes,
manages to influence both the sanctum within which we live and that which lives in us.

Some are strong enough to resist it,
but it is a constant fight.
You know that if you directly object publicly,
suddenly your life gets a lil bit lonelier.
But yet, society can ask of us some lofty things,
like shoving aside our own priorities, desires, goals, treehouses,
for something more... fitting to its own will.
And this constant struggle it not easy at all.
If you are not careful,
society will turn to you and suddenly
you are completely powerless and at its mercy.
But society is merciless.
It turns to the helpless and laughs, and then takes a person's individuality,
and before their very eyes...
crushes it.
With only pieces remaining, a desire broken, and a treehouse forgotten.
And then the person,
which could easily be yourself, is willing to do anything for society,
the very entity that snapped the branches of your life apart just moments before.

So then, I ask the question one final time:
Why are treehouses so small in number?
Why are we, as those that at least once, wanted nothing more than to have a treehouse all to ourselves,
not seeing them through to completion?

It is as if in listening to society and turning 180,
You forget your roots.
That's right, I said that. Your roots.

But you gotta remember that Lot's wife, too, turned her back on the goal, and she turned to salt.
And while, in turning your back, you won't become a saline statue, you will, in the long run, become salty.
Salty at the what could've would've should've been. Salty at the wasted potential of realising your dreams.

But since the social will says,
in spite of your own,
that treehouses aren't needed, aren't important,
here lies thousands of abandoned treehouses,
fallen decrepit, victims of neglect, reminders of what once was,
and yet never destined to become what now is.
And, joining with these sorry structures, the prospect of millions more that, yet,
were never realised all because
a person gave up on their treehouse,
yielding instead to the call of social will.

And at that point you wonder
when social will mean
something different to people,
when people will start to act
on their own will,
and neglect what society tells them is "necessary".

As for me?
I stopped listening to it a while ago.
I still want to live in a treehouse,
to have "my head in the clouds".
Some say I'm already there,
but boy, do they have any idea
of what kinda treehouse I want to build? My head may be in the clouds to them, but I'm just getting started.

The secret?
Don't listen to it. Don't abandon what you've wanted
since you were a kid
just because others tell you to do so. You're your own person,
so don't conform to the hive mind
and hide from what might've been the greatest point in your life.
Because if living is slaving to what others say, it isn't.
If thriving is subordination, it isn't.
It's hypocritically giving up.

Never give up on your treehouse.
