Autumn Leaves

I step outside,

And look around.

I see the autumn leaves.

In hues of yellow,

Red and brown.

I see the autumn leaves.

As I watch,

Barely breathing,

Autumn leaves 

Fall from the trees.

I cannot comprehend

Just how beautiful

A sight

I am graced with.

I see the autumn leaves.

Back to school

Is nearly here

But in this moment,

I don't care.

For

Here I stand,

Surrounded by beauty.

I see the autumn leaves.

    Immovable walls surround me

    (Sometimes)

    I don't understand other folks-
