Riddle

Hey guys, I'm back with another post, this time something different to the usual, a riddle.


This is going to be a riddle using a metaphor. There will be multiple clues, so with out further ado, begin!


I am taller than everyone that walks past me though I can not move.
My arms are long yet spindly and get broken often.
I have no legs but I am unmoving and will only move in death.
When I am killed I am cremated in people's homes for warmth.
But while I am alive I am the life force of people around me.


Thank you for reading this post and don't forget to comment on what you think I'm trying to describe.
