Shhh be quite be still - she said
Why- the child asked like any child would
Because they will hear you in the night, laughing and loving, knowing no wrong - she whispered
But I don't understand there is nothing I fear, I'm brave and I'm strong-  the child giggles
You will understand one day when your no longer a child- she sighed
I'll be a kid forever- declared the child with certainty
I hope, I wish but just remember this, be quite be still or they will put you down and you will be out of luck. With no memory of the reason for your laugh- she cried
Don't be sad, I promise I'll be ok. I won't let them get me- said the child who will grow up one day

math* they say is adding,subtracting and multiplying
And that it will be applied.
I'm not so sure they know what math is.
It's not that simple.
Ask those who spend hours trying to learn it.
The numbers mix and mingle.
And your mind makes up its own math.
If I add or subtract or multiply
Will I get the same answers?
I'm done with this numerical *math

Watch the waves on the sea,
The way they change from day to day;
Crashing on the shore.

At full force with the moon at night,
Hitting everything in their way
Watch the waves on the sea,

With walls of water at full height,
Capturing the moon’s rays
Crashing on the shore.

Rocketing mist into full flight
Leaving those without anything to say ,
Watch the waves on the sea,

With the moon as the only light
The show can be seen from miles away,
Crashing on the shore.

With the moon shinning bright,
You just want to stay.  
Watch the waves on the sea,
Crashing on the shore.
my attempt at a villanelle for my lit project...

I'm tired of thinking
I hope that's ok
I just wanna let go
And survive the day

I'm tired of thinking
Can I just watch
Things unfold
And stop worrying about the clock

I'm tired of thinking
Just done with the worry
Of things that don't require much
Always running around in a hurry

I'm tired of thinking
So I think I'll just stop
Take the day off
And turn the lock

Movie stubs and old house keys
some of my old memories.
Cut out words and broken jewelry
and things that are dear to me.

Hung up high for all to see
pieces that are part of me.
All the things I used to be
are now just my memories.

The night still clings to my eyes
I'm awake
My house is awake
But my covers pull me closer
Wrapping me in warm comforting arms
My eyelids feel the weight of my eyelashes pull them down
Heavy
Only one more hour I think
And my bed agrees

I want it to be easy like being enchanted by the rain.
Easy like the shining stars.
Easy so that I don't have to wonder.
Easy because I don't want to think that it can be hard.
Easy because I'm afraid.
I want things to fall into place,
I don't want to fall.
Easy like laughing.
Easy like your smile.
Easy like talking to you.
Why can't it be easy for you to feel the same?
