How fast did your mind go
When you cut down-
That precious tree
How long did it take
For you to realize
That you just killed a living thing
How long will it be when
You realize that you do the same to me
Wait until I grow
And then when I get too tall
You cut me as if-
I was nothing to you in the first place
I never expected love
But some appreciation
Is due from all
That I had done just for you
I changed the way I colored myself
To the way I stood
And all you did
Was sneer when I casted a shadow
Upon you
As if that was my original intention
Told me I was a nuisance
And motioned I was worthless
And never batted an eyelid when I lay
Motionless on the ground
I guess then,
That your original thought of me
Was merely just a thought
That was not meant to be conceived
And that you didn't expect me
To overshadow
Apparently all you did
Just for me
Tell me then-
Was cutting me down
All
For
Me?
Or for the sick joy you take in kicking things
When down.
At least, I'll be free from your grasp
And next time around
The axe you cut me down with
Will be nothing but dust.
