A morning sunset

Bright

Too bright

Too much light

For the first moments of awakening

The thump thump thump of my heart

Only disturbed by my alarm

I hit snooze, yet again

But something tells me to look out the window

Bright,

Still too bright,

But impossible to look away

From the 

pink

yellow 

blue 

orange

life

all I can see is life in the sky

But I look away, 

School waits for no one

Clothes put on, bag is packed,

Look out the window

Bright,

Still to bright,

But now all blue

The sunset of the morning only captured in the creases of my mind

  • Today

    Today I've walked around school in a haze

    I don't know what to do 

    How to feel 

    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
