Root Words

I was not meant for you

I wasn't made for this

I wasn't born 

With roots

I found them for her 

Through you

To you

And them 

And then I had to go

Float as I was meant to

The ghost of my invention

Stripped me 

Of feet 

To plant firmly into earth

She cut our ties 

And stole my worth

It's work 

To appear grounded

When your weightless

And you wait this out 

Till gravity defies you 

And life reminds you

You don't fit here

So I move now 

To the next place

That I'll leave from

Till the next place 

That I'm freed from

Till that one day 

That the sleep 

Comes 

And calls me 

Maybe to a place

That could be home

Who knows

How it goes 

But I do know that your most

Of what I needed

And as I leave it

Behind me 

I find peace

In knowing you'll put in

That picket fence

And circumstance 

will always 

Find your arms full

And though 

I wasn't meant for this 

Meant for you

I find solace in your roots

Cause I knew

you'd always want a place 

that held your heart secure 

and never it loose 

But me, no...

I wasn't made for that

I wasn't born with roots
