One brick
Chipped, cracked, peeling
Rests as the beginning...
~
Before me is a light
Pouring through branches
Bouncing off leaves while
Sounds of laughter
Sounds of gasps
Groans
Sobs
Echo across the bricks
Because of me.

Someday Felix will be watching Brock through his living room window
Someday Brock will grasp that steak knife so tight,
His knuckles will turn white
Someday I'll place the blank white page down,
Titled "Photos of You"
With the screenplay credit to
Kaylin Uglow
~
My first step off the chipped brick sends chills racing through my spine
But the shiny red one under my feet brings light into my eyes
I'm ready for my future.
