Among The Trees

Not the smartest in the room

Don’t know what I don’t know

A clueless fool at the bottom

Asking questions others already know

Feeling infinitesimal in a room of big ideas

A seedling among Redwoods

Looking to grown

Nourishing off the knowledge

Uncertain if I belong

Unaware of this fact

Everyone starts as a seedling

Planting my roots deep in knowledge

The experience will come with time

As I look up

I feel protected

Among the trees

I feel at home

Segundo Juan Devora
