the blooming of flowers
in the cool, breeze filled spring
brought me hope
and small joyful feelings
leaving me excited
and for the first time in a while
happy

the cool feel of the ocean
splashing on my skin
the sand between my toes
and the sun's rays filling me with life
make me laugh
and giggle
and I knew that summer was my favorite season

the coolness of autumn
the browning of the leaves
left me a little sad
and the start of yet another school year
filled me with a sense of dread
I had not felt for almost
three whole months

the cold harsh winter
invading my life
stole my hope
and left my dreams out in the
freezing winter storms
I froze from the inside out
and I was burnt by ice
I could no longer live as I wanted to
and I fell into a deep dark place
I thought I'd left forever
but when I hit the ground I didn't stay
I broke into a million pieces
ice shatters and
I
was
frozen

never again would I see the
spring flowers bloom
the magnificent waves of the ocean
the browning leaves fall from the trees
or even that harsh winter blizzard that put me here
I was gone
