A Leaf’s End

I’m not sure why every leaf must die

How must they feel

To know there time will be so short

And to know no one will notice when they leave

The tree lives on

The tree gets to live for years to come

But the leaf must say goodbye

It’s too soon

Do they have less worth?

Were they brought to this world to help their master

Then look pretty

As they take their final breath

The tree does nothing

As the thing that once brought them life

Falls

Forgotten

It’s like they don’t care

What’s one leaf anyway?

They aren’t needed

There will be more

No one likes to admit it

But some lives

Were created

To be more important

Than others

The hard workers are forgotten

The lazy ones are remembered

The ones who make them beautiful

Are ignored
