Autumn Leaves

I step outside,

And look around.

I see the autumn leaves.

In hues of yellow,

Red and brown.

I see the autumn leaves.

As I watch,

Barely breathing,

Autumn leaves 

Fall from the trees.

I cannot comprehend

Just how beautiful

A sight

I am graced with.

I see the autumn leaves.

Back to school

Is nearly here

But in this moment,

I don't care.

For

Here I stand,

Surrounded by beauty.

I see the autumn leaves.

    Rain

    Endless nights

    With no end in sight

    I can’t go get my meds
    Why?
    Because sometimes
    It’s too much
    Accepting this world
    Is just too much
    And I just can’t
    Make myself
