I'm the apple at the top of the tree
Waiting for someone to come pick me
But the ones that are picked are near the ground
The ones that aren't so shiny and round

They pick the ones all rotten and old
I guess they must look like gold
What's wrong with me, am I really that bad
Not getting picked is making me sad

Is it because I'm up so high
can somebody please just tell me why
No on is willing to climb this tree
Will someone please come pick me

Sometimes I feel like I'm the apple at the top of the tree, because nobody even tries to climb for me.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
