Moments
My face needs sun tan lotion again
My heart pumps harder than a marathon racer
My eyes twinkle in the light like stars
The sky is so blue it reminds me of fun days at the beach
The sun shines down on my little angel feet
I sing as I skip down the street.
Kids come outside to play again
no matter how dangerous it is out.
The block could be poisonous like ivy
but children still come out and with no pouts.
I mark my calender for these days
when the flowers are in bloom
and the sun stays longer.
I cling to my emotions like ex boy friends
calling ex girl friends when what they had is over.
Today I opened my eyes, got out of bed and stared at the ceiling.
Every feeling is rushing at me like meteors to earth.
And I feel like this epiphany I just gave birth to like a baby
makes my insides hurt.
I'm not too comfortable with what it intells so I put the letter
back inside and sealed the envolope.
I'd get down on my knees and pray that
one day these feelings would run away like
pet dogs escaping out of closed gates.
