My roots

 My roots are from a giant tree

The familiar old family 

I stood above as the highest branch

Let the timber hold my weight 

I waited and still wait

To that day 

When I have a say

But I am dependent 

Till the branches holding me

Became redundant 

It's time for a free fall

A free new life 

Yet I am afraid 

Cause it's new

And very few

Roots hold me now 

Trembling here I fall

No time to stall

I fell sharply to the ground 

As the weeks goes around 

Tender leaves surround

The sun smiled widely

"You have become wise

Your fall was precise"

And all of the doubt washed away by the rain

With no pain there is no gain.
