a tree only stands tall
because of its roots
buried so deep
so not to fall
but i never grew or sprouted
things as such to keep
i was yanked out of place
ungrounded
again
and then again
so instead of growing roots
into the next place i land
i count on the surety of leaving
the comfort in knowing
i could discover new sand
i am a nomad
adapted to this life
in fact
addicted
i will not grow roots if i stay
i will wilt and die
like a flower in a vase.
