Leaves

Putting myself first.
Something new.
Out the window, the leaves sway to the wind.
They don't mind.
Why should I? Why should anyone else?
We all share this space.
Why not learn from the leaves?

Why must we compete?
We exist because of each other.
It's not about me. Just me.
But it is. I have to be me to be part of the tree.
We first have to have "me" before we can give it away.

Space to be.
Not about tomorrow.
It's about what I need now. Allows me to have a real tomorrow.
