Childhood Song

There was an actor once, whose age
    Was far too young
To warrant tragedy on stage. 

A sapling’s roots were harshly wrung
    And taken far away,
Where to a barren rock they clung. 

I, likewise, did not have a say
    When I was torn and flung,
And yet I lived and thrive today.

    This is my childhood song.
