The moon is exceptionally bright tonight.
Now, I wish that you could see it too but I'm also glad that you are buried deep underground.
I feel the words crawling up, gurgling in my throat, scratching!
ripping!
tearing!
Tearing their way through to the tip of my tongue... and that's when you ask me if I want to just go home. Of course I don't but I lie because you look tired.

The sun rises and sets and we do it all over again for another one thousand years. Each night the moon shines just a little brighter.

I submitted my poem to silent spark press just for fun and THEY ACCEPTED IT! It's gonna be in a book!!
They told me to use my real name but I have a fake full name that I use if I really don't want people finding out who I am. It's Sheena. I've been using it since the 10th grade. I have a last name too but I'm not gonna write it down in case anyone actually reads this lmao

I feel the words coming up,

Gurgling in my throat

Scratching!

Ripping!

Tearing!

That's when you would have asked me if I just wanted to go home.
