To the little girl with big dreams

I wish the sun always shone

But never burned your skin

And that when it is snowing

The cold never nips

I wish all your tears were happy 

And you never knew grief

But I know none of this is true

Because dear, 

You are me

You don't know it yet,

What your life will bring

And neither do I,

But I can't wait and see

But I know you've laughed

Cried for joy and for pain,

I know your ambitious 

Have hopes and have dreams

I know you're indecisive,

But that is okay,

For you have so much time to decide what path you will pave

I don't what who you will become,

But I know who you are,

Better than I know myself 

Because you are me,

Simply not as burdened

I carry you everywhere

Every step that I take,

And you don't know it yet,

But you'll be okay.

  • Today

    Today I've walked around school in a haze

    I don't know what to do

    I don't understand

    How he won again

    I don't think I want to understand

  • Halloween

    I miss Halloween

    Not because it changed

    But I did

    I miss going with my parents and my brother

    And stuffing my face with candy

    I miss meticulously planning out a costume

  • The Season of Death

    Death reaches his hands

    Shrivels leaves

    Rips them up

    Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting
