The Canopy of Education
As her jeans trailed along the concrete floor
She pondered upon all that is and unsure
Walking to a lecture, reeking of beer
Clasping nothing but passion, pens and fear
Passing one building to enter another
Safe under the canopy of education
Sheilding you from what is, under a cover
That hides a blackness of a infinite dissapointment
A constant loss of a spirit
A constant soul in constant bereavement
So lost inside concrete and achievements
Every set back a cause for personal penitence
Safe under the canopy of education
She pondered upon all that is and unsure
Walking to a lecture, reeking of beer
Clasping nothing but passion, pens and fear
Passing one building to enter another
Safe under the canopy of education
Sheilding you from what is, under a cover
That hides a blackness of a infinite dissapointment
A constant loss of a spirit
A constant soul in constant bereavement
So lost inside concrete and achievements
Every set back a cause for personal penitence
Safe under the canopy of education

Great poem.
"Clasping nothing but passion, pens and fear" is my favourite line, feel I can really relate to this.
I don't wanna leave uni...! x
