What am I?

March 15, 2023 by szachik@pvs.org Leave a Comment

By Junior Jess Billimore

You see me everyday, 

Or do you?

You’re familiar with my presence,

Maybe too much so.

You walk all over me,

To and fro. 

Some of you dislike me,

Yet I continue to grow.

Am I invasive?

I endure the pain that you give;

All I want is to live.

I take up lots of space, 

Growing at a fast pace.

Is my existence a waste?

You see me everyday.

Please, appreciate me today.
