Special Leaves

Each leaf in my forest is an emotion
The crunchy red ones are anger
The wilting dying ones are sadness
The vibrant green ones are happiness
Each leaf is something I have felt before
Some have never come
I am waiting
Waiting for the day to grow a new leaf
Some new growth
Some things will not come
I know that
But my forest is my life
Only I can enter my forest
Sure people can change my forest
But it is my peaceful world
Mine and only mine
Storms may come and go
And so may fire
But my leaves will stand strong
