As autumn passes

I watch everything around me die

and i slowly grow tired of this constant lie

I can’t light a candle without matches

I can’t keep going, smiling, to all my classes

I’m tired and watch the leaves fly

I find i’m jealous of everything else getting to die

while i’m stuck here as day after day passes

I watch leaves fall

Floating in the wind

flying, looping, and whirling down

As they fall to the ground

A thought passes through my mind

and i want to find out if I’ll fall or fly
