Down

You are a tree
that grew down
A simple sapling
planted without care
Whose branches touched the earth
and remained encased for eternity

You are a body
engineered precisely
With carefully crafted pieces
misplaced on the product
A series of imperfections
spoiling a delicate entity

You are beauty
shown to nobody
Glittering more than
others of your kind
Reduced
to a life of seclusion

You are a tree
that grew down
But your roots
flared upwards
Bringing spectators
to see the glory in your creation
