The Reality

I am slightly embarrassed to share this, but I have come to accept my sad reality... I was an awful student. I sucked at school. Well, mostly... It's pretty obvious, for anyone who knows me, where my strengths lie. This is proof.

An Ode To Autumn

When the wind starts to chill

and I've lost all my will

to go out and explore past my windowsill,

it must be Autumn.

When apples turn red

and trees start to shed

and their leaves all end up in my flower beds,

it must be Autumn.

And though it is my favourite season,

I fear it leads itself to guilty treason 

as it's colours and scents and beauty end in snowy cold without reason,

it must be Autumn.

But for now I'll settle in,

start the fight to not over eat and never win,

and enjoy the beginning of holiday season with my next-of-kin.

It must be Autumn.
