crumpled leaf
A perfect green leaf among all the others in this big tree
Smooth slim and strong
days and months go by and the leaf begins to age
The once green happy skin you had
begins to fade,it becomes darker then brown
not only faced with this you shrivel and crumple
your once perfect home let's you go
down
you
fall
onto the cold grass with all the others who faded like you
the old man rakes you up and
Poof!
your gone!
