Beauty and the lengths one may go to

Bright sun rays beam straight onto my skin,
I hum, for you may be beautiful, but you can slowly kill me,
A huge rush of billowing wind makes me twirl in the air,
I laugh, for the joy you give me may give too much of a chill,
The gushing water soaks and glides onto my skin,
I’m cheering, for one single movement could take me to my demise,
I look at the pretty shimmery colors of the box jellyfish,
I smile, for one looping tentacle can have me dead in a few minutes,
The world is full of such beauty, but at what lengths will you go to find it and touch it.

    I still don’t find it fair that thrice isn’t a thing

    I’m walking tomorrow

    For my mother who never even got to high school
    Who frowns whenever I’ve put my schoolwork over cleaning my room

    Because I will go half hungry so they can eat the other part of my sandwich,

    The simmering heat of anger that a sibling can make you burn with can be quite questionable,
