I walked outside today

on a day that's not supposed to feel like this

But I'm gonna take advantage of it

The warmth

The feeling

The energy that's channeled in the trees

The same warmth I feel from cuddling

Someone that shares my energy

And is responsive

Sometimes

The trees and me share more energy than the people I meet

Sometimes

The leaves make more sense than the words people speak

Manipulation

Is not something the trees need

To get what they want

All they want is life

For all things, animals, and organisms

And sometimes I look up and see

That tree smiling at me bigger than the people

I wish I could make happy

I am not enough for them

They need more than me to be happy

They cannot be pleased with this skinny body

That's probably taller than thee

But my perception of the world is wider

Theres more I can see

Then the perfect bodied girls who stand about 5'3"

With the confidence of a president and a face prettier than me

Mine

Is of mixed nationalities a little different than the other bees

That buzz around like sharks in competition for the queen

But i'm barely a girl

I don't want people to look at me and think female

I want them to see a spirit fascinated with the trees

A being that values love, kindness, acceptance

And these

Are the things that should be the basis of our society

So everyone can be happy

Because the trees feed the animals and organisms

In consideration of their well being

Knowing that sharing

Can give life to others

whether its sharing knowledge or perception

I want to be giving like the trees
