The teacher said,

~

Draw a picture of the world outside

Bring to life the vibrancy you might see

~

But I didn’t know what I could see

Mattered little to her direction

You see what I see might seem

A little off, if I were to really let you see

~

Wait a little bit and you might then

Realize that we are truly reflective

Of only what we choose to see

That stricken notion of revelation

Seems rather docile to the naked eye

Yet inside the mind of a child in wonder

~

To see the world through my youthful lens

One might ask for a reprieve from a society

That suggests we observe in a certain manner

With the rules of asking simply for notoriety

~

Are you truly curious of that which I see?

Or is this assignment your personal idiosyncrasy!
