The Bonfire

Night fast approaching.

Sitting in chairs looking on at the mound of wood.

An elegant bird rising destined to fall.

Then a light.

Small yet growing fast.

Then in a second the bird catches.

Burning as bright as the sun.

  • Deep Thoughts

    I am a thinker.

    I think about big problems in the world and how to fix them.

    Like climate change, evolution, the state of humanity as of now.

    I write stuff down, half-finished thoughts scribbled, or typed on the page.

  • The hidden fight

    Everyday I fight a hidden fight.

    you wouldn't know it.

    I hide it,

    At school, 

    In class

    at any moment I could breakdown in a fit of tears 

    of pain

    anger

    because I have hearing loss.
