Summer is coming up
Should I be excited?
Should I be happy?
I used to be
And maybe I should
But I'm not
Summers aren't
What they used
To be
As a child
Summers were something
That everyone
Really, everyone
Looked forward to
So Magical
The magic that used to be
Is gone
A train that left
Gone
Never coming back
Now
Everyone is in their rooms
No one goes outside
No one does sports
No one plays ball
No one plays tag
with their friends
The magic that used to be
Will it ever come back?
