My Thoughts

By Josilyn Straka | Assistant Editor

I hear the rain tapping monotonously on the

metal roof just outside my window, I

lay there trying not to hear the excruciating

thoughts of my unexpected departure

The way I interpret the gray colored

sky is unsoundly disparate, agonizing in pain

like anguish with no sympathy,

Thoughts of my unexpected departure

The empty feeling that is felt, sadness

wrapped around me like a blanket

heartache halo’s my hollow heart,

Thoughts of my unexpected departure

Thankfully, that was a lifetime ago, I

now let the sun hit my face for as long as I can

stand it, there are no longer thoughts of my unexpected departure
