Scarry Night

So many things
are happening,
changing,
and it's almost as if time
is running
much too fast.
My sister,
she is going to college soon.
My friends,
I'll be able to see them all,
together. 
Summer is nearing,

When I step outside,

there are so many things I notice,

so many things I see. 

Green,

blue,

colors I can’t even name.

But every time 

my eyes gaze upon this beautiful world,

Sometimes,
I will cry.
Sometimes,
it is because of 
what I have lost.
Sometimes,
it is because of 
what is to come.
And,
sometimes,
it is because I am happy.
I can be joyful,
I can be relieved,

We make mistakes.
I do,
you do. 
Our entire world does.
But a mistake
is more than what simply meets the eye.
A mistake
could be a misunderstanding.
A mistake
could be unspoken truths. 
It is to be wrong,

There are many,
many things,
that matter to me.
My family,
my friends,
writing,
music,
dance. 
My sisters,
one who is going to college soon,
the other who is a wonderful artist,
both are phenomenal. 

So many nights
are spent,
imagining the surreal,
thinking about the undiscovered. 
So many nights
are spent,
dreaming. 
Dreaming,
about things that
could happen.
Dreaming,
about things that
could not.
