What am I made for?
Sunlight bounces through my skeleton a shadowy image of my lively past.
Question-like thoughts I ask float as arrows through my heart.
I look leafless
Leafless,
I look deranged, striped of colour. I look lifeless Lifeless, I look bare and nake; see through.
Leaves
They leave me, fluttering in the airy breeze. To the ground they fall, making me look old Yet not enough to say I’m done -
For I feel new and bold!
