Both Sides

I walk outside
to clear my mind
of everything I feel inside

I walk down the ramp
to the edge of the street
stepping on rocks
that are hurting my bare feet

I glance down the road,
the sun in my eyes
and notice my world
has two sides.

The side on the left
makes me want to cry
its full of smog and diseases
that can make you die

The side on the right
natures beauty calls
green trees, birds flying, and
children playing with balls


The author's comments:
Jared, is native of Corpus Christi, Texas, and currently a junior at Texas Virtual Academy. His interest in poetry was sparked after taking a creative writing class. Jared found that much of the writing
was based on being able to connect emotionally with the words of other writers, as well as finding words too express his own feelings. Being a seventeen year old young man, he at first found that too be difficult. Jared spent many hours and awkward moments trying to put his feelings down on paper. He found a connection too poetry and now is inspired to help other young man find their own inner self.
