Inspired by @/zekewardeverday on tiktok.
The city is a big place for little kids like me.
Tall buildings made of concrete. The smoggy air fills our lungs.
One day while looking out the window, I spotted one red tree in the park across the street.
The tree with its scarlet leaves calls to me. It reminds me of how I feel in this city. Different from the rest.
I pack a bag and venture out towards the tree.
From my apartment, across the road, over the fence, onto the green.
I walk all around the park looking for the red tree.
I climb over rocks, pass by a pond, and weave through the green trees.
Searching for the beautiful red tree.
At last, there it is.
The tree I have been looking for.
I sit under the red tree. Satisfied with my day.
The red tree is now my safe place from this concert world.
