TRY

In the silence she sits
unaware of any great change in the outside world
she begins to hit the end of her pencil against the metal rings of her notebook
if not for the need of something to do, then for the monotonous clanging sound its makin
breaths taken to ease her fears
not wanting to go back to the outside to here the cheers
teachers, parents, friends all complimenting but ever filling an unfulfillable void
or so it seems...
God she has, friends she has, love she feels
but the reel of her life played over and over and over presents new challenges
always ready to pursue the next step she stops to compare her past with her present and realizes
its actually much better
as she moves from her small space into a more comforting place she accepts her fate
not one full of dread or hills
but full of hope and thrills and as she heads for the door
searching for more, she acknowledges the world but stays clear of its
hooks and snares
ready to reach out and grab her at any time but she knows better than to straddle the fence
in life one must decide which side is best
and though the tests may seem large, there is always something bigger, better, and happier at the end of the road if you try.
