Shrivel Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

Shrivel



All my life
I never quite fit in
Then I found you
Then I knew
No matter how hard
The wind threatens the tree
The leaves may rustle
And fall until none is left
But me

People came
People left
But I remained
Forever?
I believed that
Until one autumn came
And it suffocated and died
With the rest of the trees
