English 116

So I remember in Grade 11 our teacher made us write poems everyday before class, so I decided to write my on the movie "Into The Wild" cause I watched it the night before and really enjoyed it. I didn't think it was the best poem, but by the next class the teacher had approached me and said she loved it. She also thought it was a poem about my brother and how he went on an adventure, but lets just keep to the fact that she liked it. So here's my poem from my Grade 11 mind..... Wild Christopher

Wild Christopher

You leave everything

love, family and anything familiar

You leave to find yourself

surviving

living

for months at a time

the ones you love believe you missing

closing yourself in

You need to discover

sleeping in the dirt

You smile

So happy to be close to the earth

name changes

meeting new smiling faces

who strangers could be so kind

But soon

You find your lonely

the familiar leaves that hugged you

are now black walls isolating

time passes

a year grows

You finally discover

the concept of happiness

that you need to share

now you will be happy

but time passed

Your too late

a great adventure was your life

but you've poisoned your body

a mistake to your mind

But you leave crying

Happy tears

good life Christopher

good life.
