Flying…
A common fear.
But is it really flight
That frightens us,
Or are we afraid
Of falling?
//
Crashing…
A rare occurrence
For airplanes.
An event that sparks
Headlines and
Vicarious horror.
//
Ringing…
A phone call
From our mother.
She is screaming,
Saying through sobs,
“It’s on the news.”
//
Typing…
A web search
Confirms the truth.
You always wanted
To be famous…
But not like this.
//
Dying…
A fate that
Awaits us all.
But I never would
Have guessed this
Is how you’d leave me.
//
Grieving…
A process
They promise will
Get better with time…
But I am running
Out of patience.
//
Trying…
I am doing it
Everyday.
But I can barely
Even look up
At the sky anymore.
//
Dreaming…
The only way
I see you now.
Here, we are safe,
Because here,
We have our own wings.

I have been writing poetry and lyrics since I was a child. I have recently started writing short scripts for “found footage” horror TikToks. I dream of writing books and full length screenplays. Thanks for being in this community with me!
