Hello Summer

Hello Summer,

I see you on the boardwalk;

In every screw, and plank, and scratch,

Your every nook and my personality match. 

 

Hello Summer,

When you're sad, your hot tears shed

On every little piece of life giving it more

And giving me something to live for. 

 

But Summer,

I'm drowning in those tears—

They come to me late on a blazing night

And in the foggy morning before your light. 

 

I see you Summer,

Withdrawing from the west 

Taking all the happiness with you

But you will come again soon. 

 

Hello Summer,

I'm caught in your cycle of fake promises

That you'd whisper in my ears with that searing wind,

Summer, I know this is how it's always been.

  • tug of war

    It's a long, thin and twisted, smooth rope,

    One I could wrap around the skin on my wrists,

    And keep myself tied to one place.

     

    Because when I'm with you, I'm free,

    Chasing the world without a finish line

  • Fitting In

    Dinner is silent again,

    My dad was fired,

    And my mom’s tired from working late again,

    And I’m trying not to be sick from it all.
     

    My sister’s talking about poverty

    And how educators get the scraps,
