do you ever feel
like the only tree in the forest
that when the wind pushes through
your leaves are the only ones
who tremble
as if somehow
the girl from down the street
with her velcro and rosie cheeks
forgot to color in
the rest of the jungle
with her dull
green and brown
crayons
or maybe
you were left there alone
on purpose
to dig your hungry roots deeper
and deeper
into the earth
until you stumble upon
a quiet place
in your solitude
until you realize
that once your eyes are shut
and you listen to
and feel
the breath in the breeze
the forest is lush
and flourishing
around you
for you
