The wind blows

The bird tweets

The chimes makes a ring

A heavy sigh was released

 

One word . . .

The word . . .

School

 

It makes me shivers

It shakes my core

I can’t sleep at night

And wake with a fright

 

But who cares? It’s just school

You only get homework, quizzes, and tests

It’s no big deal . . . except that it really is

 

Push those worries away

Let the joy sink in

Your friends will be there

Your memories will grow

 

What more could you want?

Am I happy? I couldn’t say.

Am I proud? I wouldn’t say.

 

A heavy sigh was released.

The sun has gone

And so have I

Under the covers, where I laugh and say,

“I have no idea what makes me want to celebrate.”
