Only day 6

Only day 6

And yet my backpack

Has left bruises in my back

Quizzes and tests

Have been sprung upon me

Only day 6

And yet friendships

Have already started

To weaken and decay

Unwanted comments

Surround me

Only day 6

My mind is already

Stretched and in pain

Fear of failing

Creeps up on me

Homework makes me

Stay up past my limit

Only day 6

My eyes are closing

As I write my poem

My fingers hurt

From gripping a pencil

Only day 6 and

I'm

       Ready

                    For

                           It

                               To

                                      Be

                                           Over

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

    The love that is

  • Dear New York City

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

  • Field of Roses

    Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
