The Sun

I always thought I knew what the sun was I’d see it in photos and on screens – even catching a glimpse every now and then But it wasn’t until I felt its warmth was when I realized how nice it was As I rolled my neck back, closed my eyes, feeling its embrace “So …

Run

I keep hoping for things to get better But life hasn’t settled at all It’s like I’m staring at a dry planted seed hoping for it to grow when I have a leaking hose right next to me And as I wish for that seed to blossom I know that nothing is going to change …

Goodbye

It’s easy to fall back into the trap To stumble into a cycle that does not forgive To for a moment not be conscience of repeating a mistake But I try my best in remembering to forget Of all the shared experiences and anxious lines Of all the songs that were shared and walks up …
