Necessities
Why cant i be,
like the leaf in the tree,
so vibrant and green,
moving with the breeze..
Why cant i be,
like the leaf in the tree,
successor of storms,
flying high... still vibrant and green..
Why cant i be,
like the trunk of the tree,
standing strong..standing tall..not moving at all,
no matter how hard the storm pushes me..
Why cant i be,
like the trunk of the tree,
so very useful..and pieces of me,
used to make history..
Why cant i be,
like the roots of the tree,
so needful for things,
like food and stability..
Why cant i be,
like the roots of the tree,
to use every storm..to grow stronger,
in benefit of me..
I am not like the leaf or trunk of a tree,
I am not like the roots underneath,
I am but human,
It is but a tree,
However similar characteristics,
have made me what you see..
Without my roots,
without my trunk or my leaves,
I cannot survive,
I cannot be..
