Speak

Today felt the same as yesterday.   
Nothing changed 
But there was a silence 
That echoed in the voices 
I heard. 

Today felt as if nothing changed.  
I got up, brushed my teeth,  
Made my bed, 
But I didn't think of the change 
That happened last night. 

But how does the world keep spinning,  
How does the future become the past 
When I'm not sure of my own future? 
How is nobody else in my life showing emotion? 
Why are we all silent 
When this is when we need to speak most?

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
