I Am a Leaf

I am like the leaf Blowing in the breeze Whipped around And blown down What about me No one hears my tiny scream No matter how I yell And knowing I am just a leaf Means I am frail Kicked around, swept away Like yesterday's trash Can't anyone see? I'll be gone in a flash I am just a leaf Fallen from a tree Does anyone care What happens to me? I am not stable I am not whole The tree let me fall My innocence stole And now I am dying Crinkly and brown Tomorrow no evidence Of me will be found For I was a leaf But I am not to be Blown from my home That was once a tree
