Reason Why the Leaves Fall

the leaves fall not from the tree because of their own weight but the weight of anxiety heaped up like unpredictable tomorrows and days after days of dismal weather compel the leaves to leave the tree pretending to be feelingless without leaving any sort of emotional reflection the leaves fall and roll on the ground to find a place where they can take their hearts’ misery away the leaves roll over the street not because the wind blows but to forget the meaningless days they have spent because the past of the leaves are full of embarrassment the leaves cry in unbearable pain without a sound while kicked and tampled by indifferent passersby a last leaf hangs on the tree as if saying “don’t cast me away but let me just hang on to…” filled with sorrows unbearable this one fell as well sobbing soundlessly heaving its shoulders
