Our S t r e e t
Our S t r e e t
By: Tatiana De Sousa
Our street, is not like any street.
It is long and n a r r o w,
like an ally you can sneak away to
when you need time away from the
horrible things the world sometimes
has to offer.
Our street, unique unlike the others,
has the characteristics of a mountain.
Steep and powerful, we climb and
climb to our perfect get away.
On the way to the middle, you visualize
amazing things that can never be unseen.
Once you get to the top, you feel a rush of
excitement, knowing you reached the end,
finally alone.
Our street, is not like any street.
It is long and n a r r o w,
like an ally you can sneak away to
when you need time away from the
horrible things the world sometimes
has to offer.
