The Stream Not Taken
Two streams of two colors.
One stained dark green flowing down.
The other dark purple flowing free.
Wading to the beginning of both,
Wondering which I should take.
Walking into the purple river.
Feeling the purple emotions fill my body.
I start walking, seeing a small tree.
It is wilted over the stream, with purple colored veins.
Going under the tree, I began to rethink my decision.
Moving past the tree.
I see a sign.
It reads ¨ Purple is full of sadness and grief,
while green is full of happiness and love. ¨
Looking behind me to see if i could go back,
The plants have begun blocking me off, I'm trapped.
Never have I felt this before.
Everything I remember feels like I'm going deeper and deeper down.
I think about my Mom and how worried sick she is.
I think about my Grandpa, and how happy he will be to see me again.
I remove the shrubs attempting to go deeper.
The stream stopped.
Began to turn into a beautiful cave with a small pond in the center.
And a weeping willow tree, telling me to come closer.
I realized what I have done, how I'm only 13.
I sit in the tree, crying, wishing I could go back right before the night.
Then fell into complete darkness.
I wonder if i took the right stream.
