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. 22-05-2018 Monorhyme Poetry Contest Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton

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.
