    Endless Journeys Change

    A tree stands high above your head
    in the middle of a thick green jungle.
    Animals climbing and scurrying
    upon its rough bark,
    the green leaves hiding their presense.

    A girl stands on your street corner
    leaning agianst a brick wall
    the many creatures hidden within
    dont seem to fase her.
    She still stands solemn yet
    a joyful expression, feet rooted
    into the ground; just one glance
    at her tells you of her great wisedom
    reminding you of that great tree that
    once gave you a place of rest
    on your constant journey to find
    a world unlike our own.

    Both are the structure for that world
    you have sought your whole life,
    both strong and full of knowledge;
    both seeming unfased by the crazy
    world around them, you find it unfathomable
    how this acient tree and this inoccent teenage
    girl can teach you what you must possess to change
    the journey you have been on for so long.

    This is great.

    I would suggest that you use some spacing, and some punctuation, to assit the reader on where to pause. A couple of your thoughts (I thought) ran together.

    The poems message is wonderful, and coming from a 15 year old...... that just surprised the heck out of me.

    This is different for you, as you stated, and I really enjoyed it.
    Thanks

    It is very different from your usual stuff. Not necessarily a bad thing though. :)
