Like a thief in the night
Vanishing like the ocean mist
Swaying away my tears into the ocean currents
The waters took a piece of me tonight we conquer
...

I now stand cold and alone on the top shelf
Awaiting for my re-open
For I once was firm and useful
I gave forever warmth.
...

Closing your eyes as your mind starts to wonder off
A warmth of creativity begins to form a home.
Your head is starting to race, as a smile fills your face
The everlasting mind of yours starts flowing
...

I see you,
But I cant understand you
I smell you
But I cant figure out the scent
...

I could feel the warm sticky grass after a days play
Smelling the citrus air; the same air that accompanied
A nice breeze,
The same breeze that kissed my face
...

Screaming voices all around
Everyone deaf to the surrounding sounds

The roads under construction
...

As the blood drenched your body
As your muscles began to weaken
Your eyes closing
...

Looking down, now covering your toes
Looking through, never seeing the real you
Going through you as if a thin piece of skin
Flesh against a thin layer of insecurity
...

Circle one!
Down 2!
Up three and four!
Swing down and forth,
...

Trapped in side a hole, peaking through the small crack...
I feel like my emotions are over spilling, spilling into an everlasting hollow hole..
I sit here
I wait
...

I want to scream out the top of my lungs,
Walking around
I couldnt read their faces
I couldnt speak their tounges
...

I look out the window and the snow is now meeting the ground for the first time
seeing people walk across the white ground noticing their gestures as the snow kisses their face

cars stopped to gather fuel for their hungry engines, while others slowed down to avoid the risky dangers this weather brings
...

I sit in the back row of Mrs. Patterson's classroom
I see heads turning
Fingers Moving
I wonder what my peers are thinking
