Animal Instinct

It may seem insignificant

To have the abilities of an animal 

But I disagree

The countless possibilities it holds,

Like the cheetah's speed,

Or the strength of an Elephant.

In the real world

Where your skills determine your future,

This ability to use the power of animals

Could bring me the world 

On the tips of my finger

 

The Owl’s wisdom to guide me 

Or the Wings of an eagle to reach new heights

The fox's swiftness, and agility.

Every creature's strength I hold 

It would unlock new ideas that seemed to be imaginary

 And with each strength, I would use 

The endless potential that is and will be

The FUTURE

    As long as I can remember, 

    I always saw myself engulfed in anger, 

    Repeatedly speaking out to my classmates  

    For reasons I didn’t know. 

  • Long way to go

    Every day I take the same road

    Leading to the same routines

    Going to the same buildings

    With nothing new coming into my life

    I follow the same road

  • Trees

    Destined To Be Cut

     

    It’s that time of year again

    My leaves have fallen off

    And I’m ready for the new leaves 

    To arrive in spring
