Boom! You are stuck on an island.
No, not the actual island where there is sand surrounded by water, palm trees giving shade, and little critters burrowing themselves in the sand.

I truly don't have to pack anything
just bring my mom
A cerulean sky stretches carelessly alone.
Slouching palms hang low to whisper secrets in my ear.
Soothsayer waters gently lick the sand.
Furious grains of sand nip my soles in the presence of the sun.
If just for a day my life were to change
and I would be whisked away
to an island in the sun
I would not take much, practically none.
I would not take a pen
All I need is my brain.
To imagine my warm bed.
So I do not go insane.
I do not know how to explain.
I don't want you mislead.
All I need is my brain.
How to
decide?
who can tell me-
what I Need
But me
air, water, food?
its all too true
but the one thing I Need
will Always be You
People to see
Society as a We
I would take my dearest friend.
When something happens
Someone dies, a breakup, a fight
She is always their for me.
I am forever talking to her
