Go Back To Your Roots He Said
Go back to your roots he said
Go back to the house and your bed
Go back to the char and the ash he said
Go lay in the dirt and be sad
Oh look at my roots, how they burnt I said
I cry and I stand over them
I wish they would grow so I water them
Water them with my tears, they don’t grow I said
Then take me away to a place, he said
And it could make us feel safe
A place yet it wasn’t our home I said,
But home wasn’t home, not to me I said
I yearn for a place to call home he said
For all of my roots to grow back
But if I go back to that house, he said
My roots will burn all along with them
My brothers roots are burning too I said
How do I handle those flames
I water and water and water them
The flames they hurt all that I love I said
Oh why would someone from above I said
He sat and he listened to me then said
Oh he has a plan with the ash he said
But why oh why did I have to be the ash I said
When others were allowed to be trees I said
Oh I was born with my roots burnt I said
Maybe, oh,
Maybe, that’s beautiful he said
But really it all just makes me mad I said
Mad that I can’t be a tree I said
Mad I can’t be evergreen I said
Well fine go ahead and be mad he said
But the world needs people like you who are ash
To help the trees grow, and be glad

Squad I’m losing my mind, I read a Thiam fanfic on ao3 like a billion years ago, and now I can’t find it. It was a college alternative universe, they were roommates ofc, and the song “heaven is a place on earth” was really important. I remember it being so good and I want to read it again HELP!
I was talking to my grandma when she mentioned her neighbor named Mr. Canis, and the mini 10year old Sisters Grimm fangirl in me, LOST it.
