The season of fall
November 17, 2021
My mind is hidden
Somewhere dark
I can’t think straight
I'm falling,
A leaf from a tree
The only thing that
Worries me is that
It’s spring
The tree should be
Looking alive,
All leafs attached
Saying “Hello” to the
Strangers that pass.
But then I remember
I'm not the tree
I'm the leaf
I don’t survive the winter
I don’t survive the
Hard times so I,
I die off.

That was a depressing ending, but I understand kind of what you mean in this poem. Most days, I feel like I will die off, and just be gone. But then I force myself up, out of bed, and drag myself through the day, and go to bed feeling even worse than I had before.
This was one of the first poems that I wrote that really made me believe that I could be good at poetry and made me realize that I like to write.
