1. Ancient
So much depends
upon,
The closed, forgotten
book,
Buried in ancient
dust,
Hidden in the wooden
bookshelf.

2. Imagination
So much depends
upon,
The powerful
imagination,
Spewing ideas that
shine bright,
Floating into
the future.

3. Siblings
So much depends
upon,
The annoying
brat,
Crying about
everything,
Inside Mother's
soothing arms.

4. Prison
So much depends
upon,
The cold, steel
bars,
Concealing rebellious
criminals,
Inside the
prison gates.

5. Rejected
So much depends
upon,
The lifeless
being,
Roaming land
on autopilot,
Falling apart
inside.

6. You Knew This Would Happen.. Again
I have forgotten
to clean
my chaotic
bedroom.

And which
you more than likely
expected
from me.

Forgive me
I was in bed
being creative
with my dreams.

7. Excuses
I have failed
the easiest
class
in school.

And which
you are shocked
and disappointed
in me.

Forgive me
the teacher
just doesn't like me
it's all her fault.
