woods/fireflies

 

 

woods

the woods where i can blast my music              

and problems away.Where no one can              

destroy  me from being me.Where i can             

have parties and not get in trouble.Where           

i can take a walk and never get lost.Where           

i can feel the fresh air and hear the silence

thats never there.The woods where i can

stay up and never get told to go to bed.

where i can be me without being judged.

The woods where animals roam freely

and the plants grow untamed.

Really nice piece. Effortless to read as the words seem to ebb across the page. We all need a place to be free.
