I try to stay calm but I cannot do so I am having a panic attack. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

And she can say a thousand word's with just one glance.

And her wild emotion's are controlled by the moon like it control's the tide's.

And she could feel the world's emotions with her soul that shines so bright. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale
