Bike Ride
Alexis Rowley Jun 2018
Floating pollen in the sky,
Singing birds in the trees,
Falling off my bike,
Getting bruises on my knees,

Stand up,
Be tall,
Taller than a building wall,

Get up,
Try again,
Strolling through the woods again,

Turn around,
Go back down,
Turning frowns,
Upside down,

Get  back to where it began,
To realize what,
you succeeded in,

Chin up in the air,
Get a whiff of,
Good fresh air,

Riding a bike,
Isn't  easy,
Just like life,
It can make you dizzy,

Words
Alexis Rowley Jun 2018
Words,
More like bullets,
Gun goes off,
You start speaking,
Wounds start to form,
Getting bigger,
More painful,
Harder to ignore,
You continue to speak,
Showing a new side to you,
One that sends me spiraling,
Spiraling down a dark hole,
See nothing,
Feel nothing,
Am nothing,
I hear only the words you speak,
Words that hurt,
Words that scar,
Words that show me,
Who you truly are,
,

— The End —
