tree people.

dear everyone reading,
(which is probably no one.)

i have just decided i am moving into the woods and never coming back.

i will meet some nice tree people. learn their ways.
we will solve all of the problems in the world.
we will cure cancer with our hands.
we will learn solutions to world peace that satisfy every person.
we will know the truth from the stories.
we will understand the presence of all things.

now, you might think i would come back eventually. share the cures and truth and peace with the world i knew before.
but by this time, i've forgotten about that world.
or i am too scared to return,
knowing full well they would hang me.

it's not that the tree people don't care about you.

we just know you will never understand
until you go into the woods and never come back.
