Draped In Rhymes

Ah,rebellious spirit wanting space With my finger on the map I paced I climbed Helvellyn, fell off Striding Edge Spent a lifetime hanging off a ledge Meanwhile our kind teacher twittered on Thomas Hardy, Hopkins., we were numb She never mentioned she saw my escape How the nuns hurt me, the cruel rape I slipped on High White Stones and almost dropped My feet were dangling off the fearsome rocks No-one knew for I was climbing last Know me please but never learn my past How quickly life has run since I could climb Now I merely sit here draped in rhymes
