In the Morning

In the morning,

We all wake up to a new dawn.

Except some don’t. 

They go to bed and never see the sun come up.
Some go to bed waiting for bombs.

Some see the light,

While some see everlasting dark.
In the morning,

We step out into the bright reality.

No dreams in the bright white light.
In the morning,

We all look up to a new day.

In the morning.

  • Skipping stones

    One word, one stone,
    Flat and smooth.
    One lake, one life.
    One stone
    Is flung at the water.
    The ripples spread out like a fan.
    Each ripple changes the water,
    Churning up the sand.
    It hits once, twice, again and again.
  • It Still Hurts

    I look just like you,

    Pale skin, light hair.

    Do you know my blood is a little bit different?

    You might not notice,

    The little things, that show I am different.

    You might notice an accent in a couple words,
  • Keep Them Close

    Friends are there for you if you ask,
    Best friends are there before you even think about it.

    With friends you have to talk,
    With best friends you can just sit side by side, knowing that they are there.
