Seasons Inside Me

I am FULL of seasons
Too much to hold in
The sun smiles down on me
The sun beating me
Once was fun, now replaced with none

As the leaves f , I lose brain cells

The time I have dreaded has been called upon
“Did I read my summer book?”,”I forgot my supplies!”
The leaves bunchup
I can’t hold on
The rake grasps on
But it is too late
The wind b l o w s
As I let go

From green to brown
Stress to laziness
Joyful to dull
Autumn has passed…

…Sorrow and melancholy
Hanging from the dead trees with frigid grips
Confusion swirls and mixes with the icy wind
Hide the sun
Unexpected

Carried unexpected tests and projects
The bird awaits
For a new year

Flowers sway and trees dance
My heartbeat pumps, boom-boom boom-boom
The sun lifts happiness
Green springs up
Like excitement
The advent of birds with their sweet chirps
The voice inside provokes my reality
Blankets of mosquito bites
The itch is always nagging
Waiting for the STAAR tests

Once these seasons are over
Appreciation takes control
But they may cycle,
cycle, cycle,
cycle,

I am full of seasons.
