Lies
There comes a time,
A time when you have to believe,
Believe in the people around you,
Believe what you hear to be true,
Despite knowing full well,
The full capacity people have,
To lie to you.
You'll be miserable,
Completely miserable, questioning,
Questioning for the rest of your life.

Race
It's like watching a race,
Neck to neck,
Toe to toe,
They speed through the halls,
Mouths moving faster,
Than their much determined step.
Waltzing here to there,
No time for silliness,
Walk don't run,
Run don't walk.
A race of wills,
Neither butting heads,
Nor slowing down.
It's like watching a pair of chickens,
Feathers flying,
Clucking and squawking,
As they flock to be first.

Childish Daydreams
Childhood daydreams come flooding back,
Full of romance and adventures.
So surreal yet they filled my living reality,
And were always on my mind.
My daydreams at their best,
Full of chance and luck,
Villains and heroes,
Cliche stories and dramatic scenes,
A play just for me.
Daydreams full of silly romance,
Romance uncomplicated by experience.
And oh how I'd dream of boys,
The ones who actually knew how to talk to girls,
The ones who always said the right things,
Who never dropped me,
Or used me,
As bitter as that sounds.
Makes me laugh,
To think of daydreams,
Innocence lost in the wind.

Night and Day
The moon taunts me,
Ribbons cascading,
The sky brightens,
Bit by bit,
As the sun begins to shine

Creeper
The hairs on the back of my neck jump in surprise,
As you walk into the room,
Rising as if reaching for the exit.

Autumn
The Yankee Candle burns,
Tickling my nostrils,
Teasing me with the smell,
Of someone once precious,
But still dear.

Excitement
Excitement bubbles up,
Bursting with a giddy energy,
Suddenly I can't stop smiling,
And my hands won't stop shaking.

Speechless
I wish words could express,
And truly tell,
How much excitement glows,
And grows within me.

Silly
It's silly,
Dancing by myself,
Humming a song,
And I find it silly,
The way this smile stays glued to my face,
The way butterflies flutter,
In my belly.
It's silly,
I'm sure it is,
Because I feel silly,
Wearing this foolish grin.

Chatter
Constant voices from another room,
Wordless buzz filling the air ecstatically,
A word or two trickles through,
It's impossible to piece together,
The puzzle pieces of conversation.
