Are you a tree?

My trunk is strong; it wears the scars of my persistence. I use my resources efficiently so I can achieve constant growth.  I allow others to breathe the oxygen I make.  I overcome barriers; my roots are sturdy and important.  I live with purpose; I stand tall. My seeds and leaves can nourish others.  The sun is my source of life.  I cherish every drop that enters. Patiently, I strive to reach higher.  Wholesomely, I exist with purpose.  Calmly, I watch my world change beneath my feet.  
I survive.  I survive.  I survive.
