Leaf

I don’t know why
But against all hopes
And against all realities
I keep piling my hours
Into little hills of sanity.
I spill oceans and oceans,
As I watch the forests of my creativity
Getting razored down.
I love the sky, but I haven’t been outside
I talk best with the trees,
But now I need to talk to human beings.
Words that were my best friends,
Thoughts that were understood best by them-
Have now been stolen by the cold tongue of emails.
Nothing feels like my own,
Numbers are replacing colours in my mind.
I am not good enough anywhere,
I don’t like the existence of my being
I don’t like the mirror truths social media tells me
About humans being humans.
Can’t I be a leaf?
