My Roots

• Artist: Skeleton Sensei
• Description: This is a poem I wrote in 6th grade. I wrote it for my girlfriend because we hit a speed bump in our relationship. After I wrote this, it was like we fell in love all over again. (The best part is, half the words in this poem, I have no idea what they are. I used a thesaurus to make this poem sound more romantic. )

The ocean,my depth and weightlessness
The yin to my world
Keeping me free and unsettled
I will not be the stationed corals
but swimming freely

The earth,from which I am a tree, reaching far to the heavens
Unstoppable, rich, heightened
I greath freely above all
My roots sink deeply into
I am steady, strong

You my love,to all this makes sense
You are the water in my ocean Keeping me blithe and eccentric
Pulling my heart out with your waves
The soil of my earth where my roots tightly anchor
and my heart finally stays
You raise my branches
higher to the skies
I am balanced,
Stable between heaven and earth
and I need no more

That is why I love you.
