Author's Note:
I wrote this the day after the Stoneman Douglas Shooting on February Fourteenth, 2018.
This past week has been hard but I’m trying my damndest.
You’ve been inviting me over every day but I keep saying no.
Because I’m terrified that I’ll go too far and lose something private.
Brazen youth facing the sun, we viewed the skies
Azure blue temple spreads for miles from my eyes,
forests and beaches and foreign lands, we build new fleet
A city that never dies vibrating beneath our feet
