Day Six- 30 days 30 poems

Space

I saw a news story once
The headline read, 
“Giant Goldfish found in lake”
Fish grow to fit their environment 
Every year we re-pot some of our plants
They just stop thriving
Roots fighting over space and nutrients

Sometimes I think students face pots too small.

Early wake up calls
Rules they must follow
Do it the right way
No choice
Ignored voice

I think there is a better way


We reach our potential when given the space to do so.
