peaceful
quiet
things you can only get
when sitting on your roof.
relaxing alone with the breeze
in my hair
stars fighting above me
with the city lights below
trying to be the brightest
horns honking on A street
people greeting
and cursing eachother
at 11 pm
dogs bark and howl
but my head still is calm
my thoughts are able
to find meaning and logic
now that I'm away
from children hiding in my closet
or stomping on my stairs
or mom popping in my room
and asking broken record questions
like 'how are you?'
and 'did you finish your homework?'
I just want to stay up on my roof
watching the stars fight forever.
