August 18

Slowly, I am changing.
The clouds – they are parting , to let in the morning sun.
Warm.
Slowly, I begin to smile… having one more day to make it all better.
	One more day – to paint the world with my colors.
Red.
White.
Colors of fury and peace.

Slowly, I am a parody.
The smiles – they will part, to let out the laughter.
Soft.
Unassuming.
Quickly, my mind takes hold of me…
	I open my eyes to see the truth in my day…
a fantasy.
	A beautiful dream… a love that is serene.
	A family to care for… 
		A place to be seen.
A world that isn’t perfect, but will seemingly try…
Slowly, I am changing –
	the world hears my cry.
