stop.
stop running.
stop worrying.
stop everything.
drop.
drop to the ground.
drop your possessions.
drop everything.
roll.
roll anyway from the fire.
roll away from your fears.
roll and don't look back.
until your in the clear

It's not all the grownups,
But it's too many.
Nothing is how it should be.
The world is heating.
The government collapsing.

We are only overreacting.
Today I've walked around school in a haze
I don't know what to do
How to feel

Not because it changed
But I did
I miss going with my parents and my brother
And stuffing my face with candy
I miss meticulously planning out a costume
