Sometimes summers
are used for slight
awakenings

So we realize
who we were
to begin with

So we find
what we loved
from the start

And

Those lonely
nights have
us curious

And

Shake our
bodies to
breach insanity

Slapping what we
learned before
in the face

With metal plates
that lengthen
to infinite extremes

Strengthening our souls
and aging
our skin

Even though
we’ll never
break from being teen

Sometimes we fall
in brackets
of love

Planting
our seeds
of self-esteem

Not that
petty
uptight

Slanted
across
the wrist

With catapults
of blades
type love

You see

Sometimes summer
is what we live for
“a break”

I guess some
would say
“from reality
