July (About summer days, and the truth behind them)
Summer
Mosquitoes biting
making you itch all over,
making you wonder why you ever went outside
The scent of mowed grass
fills your lungs
making you want
to bask in the sun
until the heat hits you
burning
sweltering
like fire entering your body
freedom
away from everyone
school
friends
and anyone you can't stand
with the air conditioner turned up
high as it will reach
the pools are filled
with people
trying to escape
the heat
why do we hate it
but love it
at the same time
bittersweet
like love
or a New Years Kiss
knowing it will not happen again for a while
but wanting it to end
all at once
a rush
adrenaline
you feel like your flying
freedom
but when august comes
we're back
in school
work
with people
all over again
how do we not understand
the value
of a little thing
called
summer
