Growing on the branches

Of every family tree

Are many different characters

And personalities;

Some are naturally sweet

Or just pretty to see

While others win awards

For the smartest on the tree;

On another branch

Are fruit with thicker skins

A little more sour than sweet

But strong to the bitter end;

Still one more exists

Found alone upon the tree

Known as the bad apple

Rumored from a different seed;

Do you know where you grow

On your family tree,

Or if you simply just don’t care

The bad apple you may be
