Mouse Trap
A mouse.
A trap.
The dangers are known,
But there’s still a scurry back.
That wonderful temptation,
To the eye it does please.
The thorns will scar deep,
But they are just the keys
To the doors of a challenge,
For a young foal so naïve.
Just when the tree has grown,
Hacked down are its leaves.
Dew Drops trickle to streams.
But the sun falls into place,
And dries them,
Without a trace.
Unknown is the next strike,
Of the whirlwind ways
And stormy eyes.
Leading the innocent astray.

Well I gotta say, it really works. I think this is really good. I should try making lists and see if that makes it easier :)
Haha I can understand trying to hide who its about. Though for me, its more that I'm paranoid that that object of my work will see it and know its me.
wow... talk about use of metaphores! This is really good
