Scarry Night

Summer comes in my mind,
and I relax with my family,
playing board games
and listening to The Beatles
in our cozy little
living room.
In my mind,
I hang out with friends,
on a beach,
getting tan 

Everyone has a moment,
maybe every day,
maybe every week. 
A moment that 
comes into your mind,
your heart,
your body,
your everything,
and leaves you feeling
like you could do anything,
in that time,

Sitting alone, typing away, at 7 p.m. 
This is the most perfect way
to spend a Sunday night. 
The air outside grows colder,
whipping away,
whispering,
howling
to me. 
The wind tells me to write,

I am young.
I am still a teenager.
I still have time to make choices.
I still have time to figure out my future.
I still have time to do what I want to do.
But there are now things that have been taken away from me,
rights

Days are endless,
they are endless
pieces of time
that are organized 
into hours,
minutes,
seconds.
Most wake up 
in the morning,
we eat at noon,
we go to sleep
when the sky
is dark.
