This blog post completely snuck up on me. I wanted to do another playlist but I’ll just save it for next week. For now, enjoy this poem that I wrote from last year. I remember being so proud of this poem. It was the first poem I ever submitted for a writing competition. I wrote this one day after school. I just joined the literary magazine at my school. The teacher asked us to bring a poem in for workshop but I’d never wrote a full poem before. All my other “poems” were 4-5 lines and complete trash. This poem just came to me. I’d been feeling very active lately and I needed my peace and quiet. The girl in the poem is me but also the girl in my head. It sounds weird but it’s just the voice in my head. I see her as this girl and its like two people in my head at once. I’m okay I promise lol. But here’s my poem, “Silence”, I’m thinking about going back and working on this poem again but let me know what you guys think \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\nThe birds have a steady tune that bounces from a crescendo to a low decrescendo.<\/span>
\nThe lively tree branch taps on her window, begging for her attention.<\/span>
\nThe two lively squirrels across the street have an on-going game of tag. If you listen close enough you can hear the squeals of excitement between the two.<\/span>
\nThe grass shines bright, almost as if each blade had a mirror on it, reflecting the happy sun.<\/span>
\nThe concrete shines with the shadows of the sun, while it dances a wild tango.<\/span>
\nThe people laugh and shout out in joy while they bask in the temporary weather that won\u2019t show itself for another two months.<\/span>
\nAnd yet, she sits upon her bed with a frown upon her face.<\/span>
\nVoices scream around in her head. They won\u2019t stop. They only get louder and louder and louder.<\/span>
\nThey become so loud she can\u2019t hear the one voice calling her name.<\/span>
\nThe one voice that will lead her into the light.<\/span>
\nThe one voice that will let her hear the squeals of the two friendly squirrels.<\/span>
\nThe one voice that will let her hear the persistent tapping of the tree branch.<\/span>
\nThe one voice that will lead her to the one thing she truly wants.<\/span>
\nSilence.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
