When I go outside what do I see
I see
Flowers
Grass
And a beautiful tree

When I go outside what do I see
I see things I do not want to be
I see
Muggers
I see thuggers
I see the dead in their
Beds

When I go outside what do I see
I see things I would love to see
I see the coral
And the snorkel
And the birds
And the bees

When I go outside what do I see
It’s not just outside
It’s the Internet
It’s the open road
It’s the things you and me always see.

I wrote this piece because my English II teacher assigned it. It is about what You and I see everyday. I hope you enjoyed.
