Attainment Through The Rain Forest

By NICOLE P., Waltham, MA

   



Life is sometimes called a jungle,

a rain forest stifling one's creativity.

It's a struggle to maintain

one's ideas, one's morals

through the exotic and boisterous cries,

as monsters manipulate one's mind

and slithering creatures seize one's soul.

Yet continue to strike back -

to be original,

to be individual,

to simply be yourself,

through the wilderness of society.

The path to sustain a

singular and distinctive personality

is camouflaged by

incredulous foliage and the oppressing

atmosphere.

Entered by all, everyone attempts to

tackle the treachery

but only the enlightened,

those who realize their own inner beauty,

are able to leave the facade called the jungle.
