melancholy earth
I walked out of class
To the big windows in the hallway
The room i was in felt stiff
The oxygen felt toxic
I wanted to see how the sky was feeling
If the sun was hiding the way i wanted to
If it pulled the clouds over itself like a blanket
I wanted to see if it was scared
Or angry
Or sad
I pressed my hands to the glass and inhaled the new air
Realized that i didnt really care how the sky felt i just wanted to feel less alone
The gloom of mother nature felt like the universe telling me somedays earth gets sad too
Sometimes the foundation of this planet aches like the ache in my chest
Sometimes it gets a little harder to let the sunlight in
