How I left my mother.

[zhul4nder]

Mother tree

My brothers are picking on me
They say I am brown, I'm ugly
But surely mother, my mother
Would she love me how I am supposed to be?

No, she abandons me.
I am brown, I am tainted
I am of no use to her...

Clipped from her limbs, clipped from humanity
I fall.

Into the depths below, gaping, writhing in filth.

Oh my Brethren above, green as can be
Absorbing sunlight, glinting, glistening
Away from the filth to which I landed,
Away from the place which they condemn to bandits.

I flutter slowly, effortlessly, allowing the magic of gravity to take me in his arms
soothing me painless passing
Oh how lovely, the weightlessness, I tremble at the sensation
It grips me firm and holds me, in motion.

And what? the bountiful breeze catches me too!
I spin and twirl into action
soaring higher, and higher, above my brothers
and mother.

An endless cycle throws me
higher, and higher
Into the sun that glistens on my brothers

I am brown, I am ugly?

I am, A legend-

- please note that I am not impling that I'm African American, nor am i implying that African Americans are ugly, or bad in any sense.
It adds only to the effect of my poem

In fact, I am asian and as white as an as asian could possibly get XD
