to-go
I used to see myself as a tree.
One of those that come in a bag,
(go in a bag,)
always being uprooted as soon as I get comfortable,
forgetting I was allowed to be comfortable.
Now I don't know how to be comfortable.
I'm not a tree;
I'd like to be.
I stay always knowing that I am leaving soon.
I want something to stay the same forever
A tree lives a long time
but in the end it's only paper
white as death
in my hands.
