“Oh, Bumble Bee! 
Go make like a tree, 
And don’t leave me!” 


Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, 
You Buzz just like a bee! 
It’s not good for you, don’t you see! 


You leave unannounced 
and don’t say a thing, 
They don’t know you’re gone, 
‘Till they realize it’s spring! 


 Buzz, Buzz, Buzz,
 run away from us 
and don’t ya fuss!


 … 


Well, Yes, I Buzz just like a bee,
‘cuz that’s what I am, 
and there’s no changing me!


I’m not like you, I'm not a tree! 
I can’t stay grounded to this place forever! 
I need to be free! 


I long for your desire to stay where you’re at, but that’s not how I am!
I won’t change for you, and that’s just that!


I’d love to be rooted to the ground, 
and want to stay here forever, 
but when I think of my life like that? I frown!


I’m not a tree, 
I’m a bumble bee! 
what’s wrong with me..?

Just a little poem I wrote one day after being asked why I want to go to college far away/move away from home. :)
