THAT ONE LEAF

There was just that one leaf
On the tree
That was always in the lead

He was the best
Than all the rest
All the others were dry
But he had a leak
He was some sort of leech

All the others hung alone
But this one hung with clones
He was co-dependent
While others were independent

Just as we may be at times
Afraid to be alone
Or even get left behind
Until someone invites us in
We stay in our own dark mind
