(**Warning**: this thing is kinda weird and just a thingy Iโve been stressing over.)
I lay down my head, tuck myself beneath my snuggly warm comforter, and close my eyes. My body is clean and lotioned with lush Japanese cherry blossom; making me smell like, or what one would say, a grandmother. My thick hair tucked into a bonnet. Now all thatโs left is for me to sleep.

1.
The wind speaks first,
whispering secrets through the swaying grass,
I hear it say:
the old stories are not forgotten,
they are carried on the breath of the earth.
2.
A childโs laughter follows,
cutting through the air,
sharp as sunlight on a cold dayโ
it doesnโt know yet
that joy can be broken,
that voices can splinter like glass.

Okay Iโm good
This is fine
This happens every time

_Yeah but guess what? _
_Youโre going to read those words _
_Your tongue will betray your eyes _

_The room is going to judge you _
_Thatโs something to worry about_
**Heart drops **
**Pounding out of my chest**
I donโt care
Iโm fine
I can speak like a normal person

I broke her heart,
and I meant every crack.
She shouldโve been smart
because it was just a contract.
If Iโm foul,
why did you love me?
You scowl,
but you were just a nominee.
We had a deal,
and I kept it.
I never had feelings to conceal,
but I guess yours were legit.

โYeah! Itโs all good,โ I manage to reply. My heart drums against my ribcage.
If Asherโs going to be there, Boston and I are going to have to work harder to keep the facade running.
โIโll see you in half an hour, Cal!โ
And she hangs up.
In half an hour, Iโm standing awkwardly by the popcorn machine. Iโm just waitingโฆ
And waiting.
Untilโฆ Asher shows ...
Iโve been very clear
But not transparent
The plan is working
But only on batteries
Iโm stopping the small boats
Ah, the Dunkirk spirit.
Normally Iโd say let him finish
But Iโm enjoying this.
We need change
Iโve already got wads
We will ringfence the NHS
Iโm working on ringfencing Dover

I love the world
Flowers bright, sky so clear
My lungs breathe the nice cool air
Smiling at strangers
Laughing with friends
I hope this day never ends
I hate the world
I hate his stupid face
And the Sun that makes it humid
I hate waking up early
And all the chanting torments
I hate who I am today
Wishing I could change
But here I am, lying in bed
Wishing the world away
Screw the world
Screw the...
i love him
the way he makes me smile and laugh
even when the sky is stormy
or when the seas are in turmoil
i hate him
the way i depend on him so much
and how much i value his thoughts
though he doesnโt notice me
i donโt care
despite that dopey grin and annoying face
it doesnโt matter what i do
or who i pretend to be, itโs hopeless
i love him
i hate him
i donโt care....
(Sorry I didnโt do the prompt right. I just did two perspectives)
Joy
A beautiful journey, a bright summer day,
the warm sun on your back
A Christmas morning, a hug from a friend
Iโm a childโs first laugh
The wonders of living through the joy and the strife
Iโm your journey, your story, your life
Death
A lovely finish, A race was won
Everything comes to an end
A peaceful sleep, a well deserved r...
