Under The Deep Blue Sky

This poem is also a short story, perhaps even an unsung ballad. I wrote this as a freshman in highschool to illustrate the meaning of sacrifice, to teach people how their actions effect others, how life is full of choices as well as consequences, that we must be held responsible for our actions. There is alot of hidden lessons and meanings that can be interpreted from this depending on how you look at it. I edited it a little bit to try to make it less hectic. There was a journey scene in there but I felt it was a bit unnecessary. The lessons aren't perfectly portrayed but enough so that if you ask why something happened you can see it by the choices made. It is honestly a bit dark but I felt that was needed because honestly who is going to pay attention to rainbows and sunshine?
