leaf

some days I feel like a fresh green leaf
drifting, floating,
twirling with the wind
riding high

some days I feel like a dried-out leaf
crunched on, stepped on,
for someone's entertainment
sitting, shattered, on the floor

some days I feel like a fall leaf
dangling uncertainly from a branch
unsure of whether to fall and take the risk and reward
or to stay on the branch

today I feel like a fallen leaf,
an average leaf,
sitting silently
going unnoticed
