Lessons Poem by Ashley Dowdy (Forbus)

brand new is what is she want to be
tadard and scarred, she wants to be freed
brand new, as a polished pot filled with gold
her lessons she has been taught alone
she climbs a ladder picking the ones that are closest to her
not reaching far for what whom says has known to be the rippest of em all
so they fall, but not yet forgotten
she climbs back down just to pick one up
appealing to her eyes, shes not very wise
she bites into it and discovers its rotten filled with worms
yet there is another lesson to be learned
