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.

Music's True Nature

Beautifully complex
Yet seemingly simple
It flows from fingers and mouths
It flows from metal and wood
It floats on the breeze
Swaying the leaves in the trees
A bow on a string

Maybe Someday

Ya know
Sometimes I don’t think
That things will ever get better
Sometimes I don’t see
How they really could
But I’m not always like that
Sometimes I think
“Maybe someday”
“Maybe it will improve”

I am fifteen
And this is a poem
About me
About how I feel
Being a teenager
In 2025

Distance
Rain
Endless nights
With no end in sight
