just try it, and if you hate it you never have to do it again


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
