""shadow and tall trees""

by FireFly - Libra

It’s in the dark, in the shadows-
Where boys become men-
In shadows and tall trees-
Grueling fever pitched madness-
Caught in the growl of a saber tooth’s Jaw-
Yes, I know the truth-
It’s a broken femur on the curb-
A 100 mph baseball to the head-
Blood, broken, scared, and angry-
And in the end we are ashes-
Ashes among ashes-
Among grave stones-

I know-
In behind the shadow and tall trees-
The shadow our cocoon-
The trees, our tall mentors-
Birth sign: Libra
