My Green.



The leaves on a tree are green.
The leaves on a tree are green.
THE LEAVES ON A TREE ARE GREEN!!

They don't search for their colour.
They know it.
if trees can do it why can't you?

The sky is blue.
The clouds are white.
Antarctica is ice.

Stop searching for yourself in other people's reactions.
You are you not how they feel.
you live in a world where feelings don't matter
GET OUT!

Now I start to think.
what is life really worth.
Its so easy to lose it.

I live a life where everyday or anyday I could just make the wrong right turn and it ends.
It's just so easy.

People don't see the world the way you do.
You are different.
You are Green.

About this poem

I was searching for how I want to feel. I started feeling sad about my overthinking and later I wrote this poem.
