The leaves of experience vary in shape
Even the colours are not the same
Some, green, some darker
Some wilted; others torn
Some get angry, some get cranky
Ashamed, stoic and erratic.
Fouling a body does more than hurt
It is sour, bitter and ghostly even while asleep
Some want to report it, some don’t
Some act out, some crawl inside themselves
Some will have healthy lives thereafter
Some will never
Some will survive
Some will die, a thousand times over,
Hoping; wishing; praying they’d better kissed the dust

ABOUT ME.
I was born in Lagos Island but stayed the most of my life in Kaduna. From an early age i devoured plenty of books, along the line the books shaped my thoughts then i began to write. Writing answered the questions that science and technology didn’t cater for…for me, writing is an exploration of the human mind and the wonders of the universe. To write, for me, is to attain Nirvana.Go to writefight's profile, and read more of his/her posts.
The image of leaves of experience was alluring for me. However, i don’t know whether some of the attributes you gave to them can apply eg angry. cheers
