Summer's Last Gift

Bubbles rising higher,

Multiply through the sky,

Focusing on each one till they merge into

One big facade.

You say it was a 

"misunderstanding",

But each of the silhouetted memories

Of your habit--

you ridiculed me.

Why should I give back what you lacked?

Pouts and questions define your judgement,

You play a facade of concern.

No more;

Find another game to play in the time

You spent with those bubbles without even touching them.

For where is the truth in a room full of bubbles

And no bath in sight to wash them all off?

    I stopped standing the day that everyone else stopped standing for us

    I have not put my hand over my heart in over a year because what is there to hide?

    I was born here with the blonde hair and blue eyes

  • Reflection A5

    Her life flashes before my eyes

    intertwined with his chained heart

    Her smile is present even as she breathes

    blood

    rats surround the alley

    a few more steps

    1... no no no they wouldn't do this to her

    My friends are not Australia but I wish they were. Because if they were, then there would be no world where I have to save them from doom scrolling thousands of perfect bodies that a 13 year old can't and shouldn't have.
