seventeen

Beyond the rush, a deeper well, Where stories bloom, their secrets tell. At seventeen, a life unfolds, In friendships' warmth, or knowledge bold. The schoolyard's hum, a vibrant scene, Yet some find peace, serene and keen. A silent watch, from window's frame, A different rhythm, a different game. No hurried steps, no frantic chase, But quiet moments, time and space Uniquely theirs, a path unknown, A soul's own song, uniquely sown.
