To be rootless
to be boundless
to be free
to have no rules or regulations
no affiliations, no thing

And seek everything in any way you can
To spin the roots of your own
every time

I became rootless once
I severed the roots with a knife
It hurt, it hurt,
it wasn't real, though
(Because I wasn't rootless. I simply had been
amputated, and things still were,
so I could miss,
and I was head deep in ****)

When did people ever
do a thing for you?
They just speak and *****
and make you feel sick
They don't really deserve to be killed
or slit
just go rootless
let them exist

Am I talking about chains
am I talking about roots
hard to tell
between them two

There is a wall between me and them
but I don't give a ****
There is no communication anymore
between the straight world and I

Some roots they do squeeze your lungs
Some roots so strong you cannot move
I severed them; they severed themselves
I am rootless; but I am fed everyday

and
I've never been so happy.
I've never been so fruitful.
Rootless plant can fly
Removing the superfluous branch
to go deeper underground
