Favorite Quote:
We stopped checking for monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside of us


The trees would talk to me, Whispering the words of the elm. Fog would let me be while clouds would overwhelm. People would snicker. The lonely bench would keep me warm. When the Call would bicker, I was alone, yet lost in a swarm. I sat watching the wind sprint by, underneath the color changing sky. I may be alone but need not I care. I sat upon the Calling chair. Until four seasons pass; summer, winter, spring, fall.
It is I who controls the weather upon Mother Nature's Call.


The author's comments:
This poem was first inspired by my constant bickering between me and my friends. They had turned their backs on me and bullied me. The natural reaction of this attempt I had had been to secede from everyone around me. I felt as if no one could understand. But now we are all friends again but sometimes I look back upon this poem and wonder: what could have been?
