i never noticed the paleness of my eyes
like if you severed a part of moonlight
and intertwined it with my vision
that would be my eyes.
everything around me is light toned
if my hair wasn't dark
i'd blend in.
i chuckled at my thoughts.
sometimes
i am hilarious.
i rub my hand against my cheek
my skin is soft. smooth like silk.
i could hear my mother and her faint voice
"theo, honey," she called out.
her voice wrung with concern.
perhaps
i am taking too long.
"you have to leave for school!"
shit,
i forgot to eat.
i bolted out the door
i'm probably late for school, i take ages to leave the house.
i like the security of home.
the warmth it emit
home is reliable. home is where
everything feels at peace.
every step i am further from safety
my heels
c

n
k
across the sidewalk.
i turn back
from the white picket fence encasing home
oh,
how i take home for granted.
home is where i am alone
shielded from the storm of people outside
like the blonde haired girl
from the other side of the road
with a laugh like thunder
and skin star-kissed.
she, in a way, was like thunder.
frightening
obnoxious
i wouldn't want to be near thunder.
but just you wait, theo.
one more year
and i'll fade from the chaos.
i eventually make it to the front of the school,
everybody brimming with energy
i suppose the first day back
does you like that.
in the center of it all
lies a sparkling fountain.
hell,
it could be the fountain of youth
for all i care.
i sift through my pockets
and pull a single, dirty penny.
i make a wish as i close my eyes
i wish...
i wish for
~ * c h a n g e *~
i wish for a new setting sun on the horizons.
