Risk

The Year 6s had an interesting discussion this morning about how our class put ourselves out there for every opportunity, and how that is a huge risk as we might fail.

Last week the Year 5s wrote strong poems, today the Year 6s decided to up their game!

Levi

As I take a deep breath

Standing on the edge of a dark void

Enveloping the fear

My heart is racing deeply

Realising it could take away everything,

Or stay the same.

Always scared within.

Simone

I glide above an unknown void,

Finally free from my chains.

I dive into the dark abyss,

Fear surrenders to courage.

For if you are without risk,

You are without freedom.

And your existence is meaningless.

Sam

As risks entice solitude

Trying to be free

Freedom fading away

Leaving only realisation.

As hope emerges

Changing

Changing the choice

Forcing me to avoid tranquility.

Exorcising everything,

Falling into an abyss

Wondering what is beyond the darkness,

Engulfing nothing

Everything is gone,

Gone forever.

Arya

As I step beyond the valleys of hope,

I have nothing left to hold onto

I venture further into the depths

Creatures lurk in the shadows

Trying to lure me to pain and agony

But that is a risk for me to take.

They who do not try shall never live

I head further into the shadows

I emerge at a clearing

And I realise this is the end

And I plunge into darkness.

Georgia

Disappointment

To survive is something but to risk is everything.

To hide, to savour

Beyond the earth,

A note of failure,

Crashing down.

Realisation hits me

I clamber over mountains

Reaching for pride

To survive is something but to risk is everything.
