Trees Around My Bones

I have roots growing from my feet

I have roots growing from my feet

I have trees twisting around my bones

I have roots growing inward

coming in, making way

I have roots spreading like new veins

leaves flowing through this blood

I have a forest growing inward

trees twisting round my bones

All this new growth and its finally

making its way home

all this new beauty 

and it's finally making its way home

roots growing from my feet

roots growing in my bones 

Look inside

You can see it all happening 

look in my eyes

you can see it all happening

a new body system in here

a baby jungle growing up

You could get lost in here

in this body

thoughts could curl up into the branches

and sleep, sleep, sleep

I get lost in here

in this body

in these new sprouts

I can smell dew and dirt

and me

I can smell me

And if feels good

it feels like home

I’m finally filling up this body with trees

filtering the oxygen in here

this feels like home

trunks wrapped around my skull

I look at the mirror 

and I see a home

because I have a forest growing inside

this body

I have trees to climb

and touch

and feel

and even cut

I have places to explore in here

and trees wrapped around my bones 

So welcome home

It’s about time

you let it grow in here 

let trees wrap around your soul
