Inked Coast

4 - ☾Solstice☽

In my days at school

You know, those days

Endless days, boring days, troubled days

Days that make me unnoticed

And pass me by slowly

Days I wished would end, but yet continue

So I look out the foggy window

Palm under my chin

The cuff of my sweater covering half of my hands

And I ponder

I was in a state of reverie and didn't realize

The discussion that ensued in the classroom

My eyes followed the drifting snowflakes that pelted the window

They were like feathers, dancing feathers

And thus, I began envisioning various things

I was in the solstice of my depression

Or so it had seemed

My heart ached and I felt numb everyday

My daydreams

Made me feel something

Made me feel beautiful

But it hadn't quenched my desires completely

And though I was dancing in my head

In the forest, with trees and birds

With the smell of grassy moss,

And nature  between my toes

And me, underneath a waterfall

It wasn't real

It would never be real

But there was something in my heart that begged to differ

I blinked

Looked around

Peered at my instructor

And just like that

I was wisped back into reality

Back to the life and the solstice of my depression

But like the rest of gloomy days to come

I would stare at the window

Forget my solstice

And dream again.
