The lights shine bright...
Everywhere I look they are there filling the night sky with color
The sounds
The music. the laughter, the voices filled with excitement
The smells
Fired dough, popcorn, and so much more
I feel
I feel the love and kindness all around me.
I see smiles that go ear-to ear on everyone's faces. I see friends and families having so much fun not wanting their time together to end.
Posted in response to the challenge Carnival.
I was born into a big family.
I have a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles
We all live close to each other, same state, same town.
But
What is family?
They call me different because of the way I look, act, learn
But they say it like it's a bad thing
I am different. I am. But I am not embarrassed by it, I am not ashamed.
All I needed was one person to be able to talk to.
My hands would shake during class uncontrollably
Wanting to cry and cry till there is nothing left
But instead
I am alone
