Black Sheep

I must wake up from this drowsy sleep
Be alert to any opportunity beep
Climb rocky hills and take the leap
Unravel demons when they try to creep
See what to throw away and what to keep
It won’t be easy and the price is not cheap
As I need to look within and dig very deep
Walk all roads dangerous and steep
Give wings to whatever made me weep
Plant new delights and watch them reap
For I no longer want to be the family’s black sheep.

Brian Densham Date: 5/31/2018 4:35:00 PM I like that the theme comes at the end. There is a sense of suspense that builds through the poem from the figurative picture of an actual sheep in the beginning to the metaphoric reveal at the end. Do more like this.
