Leaf

I left my friends

My family and home

I felt air crashing onto me

Only I did not go fast

Up got smaller while down got bigger

My family waved 

while my friends cheered

The bully groaned

The ants shouted my name

Everything happened so quick today

I felt like crying

I looked at my neon skin

But only saw brown cracked mud

I felt a soft thump

And there I am, on the ground

That's it, everything is done

I had my turn

But that was really quick

Now where is that ladder? 

I have to go back!
