Why am I still up
It's 12:34 and I'm wide awake
I hate sleeping with silence
Background noise is a must
The box fan will do
Much better
I'm still hot. Great.
rolls over, pauses.. kicks sheet off
Why is this bed so hot?!
Okay situate the pillow
Cough a few more times.
Lay on my back
Look up at the glow in the dark
Hanging solar system
Peek behind window curtains,
Look for signs of rain
Nope. Well that's disappointing.
Close my eyes.
This isn't working,
plays sleepy playlist
Close your eyes
Sing the song in your head
That's better..

Maybe ill put away my phone and actually go to bed instead of writing about it
This isn't even a poem #whatispoetryanymore

Autumn

I can't wait for
hot cocoa and
long sleeves.

For jumping
in piles
of fallen leaves.

For friday night
football and
warm bonfires

For staying up late
and never getting tired

For stargazing
in the crisp
autumn air

For keeping my
ears warm
with my hair.

I can't wait
for things
to get better.

i was told to write a happy poem

Life is

Life is beautiful.
Butterflies were obviously crafted
By the hand of God
Meant to put a smile upon our faces.

Life is mysterious.
We don't quite understand
Why things happen when they do
So we're always left wondering.

Life is a gift.
I feel so lucky to have the people
In my life that I do now
And I am so thankful

Life is hard.
Sometimes I really want
To disappear, but it's not wise
To close a book in the middle of a sentence.

Life gets better.*
Though there is sometimes darkness,
There will always be light
You just wait for the sun during the night.

Not sure where I was going with this

I love:

Eating goldfish when watching movies
When my dad says he's proud of me
When I get reassuring hugs from friends
When I have a laughter filled day
Late night conversations, and cute snapchats
Racing and beating the boys in PE
Looks flashed from down the halls
When we sing and she plays guitar at lunch
Goosebumps from listening to a song
The thought of fall approaching
