Falling out of the Tree


I once fractured my knee

When falling out of my favorite tree

And I made the mistake of climbing it again

When my knee was still trying to mend

 

Now I am stuck

And just out of luck

With a cast on my leg

I tried to plea and beg

 

Trying to get the doc to let me leave

But it was a clean cleave

And now I had to get surgery

And I had to get my head checked by neurosurgery

 

To make sure I didn't have a concussion 

I knew when I saw mom there would be precussions

To my actions and words  

At that moment, I would of rather been outside feeding the birds

 

I had to stay at the hospital for about a week

Just because I wanted to take a peek

At the new bird nest

I wished I had just gave it a rest

 

Maybe then I wouldn't of fallen

Out of that blasted tree covered with pollen

My knee wouldn't be broken

And my mother wouldn't let me be outspoken

I am a teenage girl who lives in a small town in Louisiana, the place where I was born and raised at. I love reading and writing poems and stories. My oldest and youngest brothers have autism. I like saying y'all instead of you guys and my favorite food is crawfish. I have never been farther up south than Tennessee. I have three siblings, two older brother and a little brother, making me kinda in the middle and the only girl, which kinda sucks. I want to be either a college professor, a writer, or a teacher when I get older. I have severe OCD to the point where when I write down something I will erase the letters/words that don't look perfect to me and rewrite them again.
