small

you shrunk in my eyes
you used to be a tree and
i could lean on you and not fall
i could play in your branches

now you're the size of a pea
on my plate and
I could probably
swallow you whole and
not even
notice.


ps. sorry to my readers who like my poetry, I haven't been posting it online because A) I am afraid of plagiarism and B) for some poetry/writing contests through my university your work must not have appeared online before. Soooo if I keep posting it, that eliminates much of my work from competitions etc.
