School Forest Maze

This was orginally just homework for school but I was so proud of it that I decided to submit it here!

Shaking like a leaf

Out on a limb

So far from home

Wish I could go back in, to the ones I know

My roots are being pulled

 

The doors were wide open

Larger ones stampeded in like bulls

I was now a little fish in a big pond

A mouse in a long, puzzling maze

Left or right, I really don’t know

 

The forest paths confuse

Bulls in every corridor

Being squashed in tight spaces

It seems like this forest was built for the seedlings to go insane and get lost

 

As the day went on

Zooming like a sonic boom

My roots were watered with knowledge

I think I understand now, the ways of this forest maze

 

My seed has begun to sprout

My roots are refreshed

I will let the sun of learning and the water of knowledge aid my growth

Until I am a large tree, budding with the flowers of wisdom

 

When the home time bell rings

Every day now,

I know my growth has continued

I know one day that I will be fully grown and filled with wisdom.

 

There’s also one more thing

Everywhere we are we’re shrouded in good and bad

Choices to make

The school maze’s bulls are both of them

 

For me only fate can decide

If I will be dark and withered, the knowledge gained used for bad

Or if I will be good with emerald leaves and spring time flowers

My decisions and the maze paths I take

Will seal my life tree fate
