Seperation

I am a leaf on a fruitless tree

Yearning to be more than I can be

Knowing that if I leave my branch I will die

That my roots have determined my barren life--a species that will be fruitless no matter how hard I try--to grow into something more appealing to the eye

But still I try... yes, I try

Until I fall to the ground and leave my branch behind

I was a leaf on a fruitless tree now separated from pain am I
