The Coming Of Wisdom with Time

This poem is very unique because it only has four lines, and yet it expresses so much. The way i was this poem was that "the leaves were many. the root is one", was easily related to high school because there are a lot of students, but you are only one person amongst all the others. and the second line kind of says how "the lying days of my youth" is how these four years of being portrayed was who everyone else wants me to be, maybe isn't the truth. And throughout the growth and years it becomes easier to be yourself. In the last line, it kind of relates to as graduation gets closer with everyday, the truth of who we truly are starts to show. And as the years pass we become more comfortable with who we are. We no longer care to be who everyone else wants us to be.
