"Ode to Summer (2009)"
April 23rd-day of freedom with
The sun beaming down; and the crystals
Hiding behind the clouds. I was still
Trapped inside the bubble though. This time around
The previous year, I was flying, but my feet were
Flat on the ground that day. I was satisfied, but
Satisfaction can only get you so far.
I was a mess. I drowned in the nervous tension
Around me, and anxiety ate me alive. I’ve always been
A dreamer, but my dreams were covered by the mass
Of angst I was under. Days piling on top of one another,
No time, no time, no time. Would I ever come out of
This alright?
May 7th-relief at last. I stepped out of the world I
Inhibited and drove to a place I call home. I was
Greeting strangers, so happy was I, so fulfilled.
Seeing the rainbow from amidst the clouds and drizzle
Of rain that now fell from the sky rather than
My eyes. I’m falling in love again with the sun and sky
Around me. This time around, it will be all worthwhile.
