The Boat Ride
The boat ride, it’s pretty.
It’s a good getaway from the city.
The constant honking and lights,
But here, it’s just calm and nice.
The water is flowing,
As the flowers around are growing.
I flow through the lake,
As I appreciate the boat ride I can take.
The fish are swimming in peace,
As I scare them away with my loud sneeze.
It’s never like this back at home,
Here, I can write a poem.
I see other people walking,
As I listen to them talking.
They start to stare,
As I give them a glare.
They look at me funny,
Under the weather that is sunny.
I tell myself, “what did I do?”
And I tell myself, “it’s you”.
I row away, into the foggy air,
As they watch, watch and stare.
I row at a faster pace,
Where I don’t know this space.
I’ll find my way out,
As I grow, up and about.
I guess I’ll find my way out, (eventually)…
