Bend To Live

We are trees,
society tries to tame our roots,
tries to have a leash,
take hold, possess control 
on the colour of our leaves.

If it wishes for us
to grow golden leaves,
then we must confirm.
When we don't,
it throws us into a fire 
to make us realize that
our roots are important...
as long as society approves.

But what society 
doesn't understand
is that some of us 
do not like being flourescent.
Some of us prefer 
to leave a mark, leave a gap
and become evanescent.
