Please Set Me Free

Swaying in the wind,

close enough to spread my seeds

but too far to be with them.

Surrounded by concrete 

like a bird in a cage,

confined from the grass, the flowers and 

my children.

I stretch out my branches trying to reach them 

almost there

but not close enough.

I see the others swaying freely 

in big families altogether. 

My whole life I was wishing for a life like that 

I wish that was me 

please set me free
