In the summer I was so hot that i couldn't breathe. I couldn't move...gasping for air on my knees. There I was stuck in that burning hot place where you left me. There was no cool breeze and comfy hoddiesΒ Β in that fall for me. I was still burning under the merciless sun. But winter I felt. So surely I was cold and grey. Frozen. Wishing upon a star for the summer sun to melt the iceberg I became. So I could start my search and find it again. Seeking comfort in those who are not my friend. I had chased the untrue because it was better than you. Then there was spring. It rained and it poured. Certainly I was drained but thankfully I had found a new door. I was allowed to dwell no more. Now summer is here once again. But this time it is my friend. The summer sun kisses my skin. I flow through effortlessly. I have found my serenity. It never left....I had to find it inside of me. -Jennifer DeAngelo Copyrighted 2016
