Monster In The Heartbeat

This week is getting really stressful. I have the BHS play along with missing two days of classes to make them up, including Honors English, oh boy! It's going to be hard, but I will have to endure. I went to Jacqui's funeral today and it was sad. I got to see Mr. Rothe, my old band teacher that moved away, for the first time in a while. When they read some poems she wrote, I almost died, but I got through it.

Happy Halloween Yeah!

On this Halloween night,
I look at the fright,
of the fact of l'ange d'octobre,
and I think on the battle,
with her monster inside,
and how she had to hide,
she thought she beat the monster,
I just seemed to get heavier,
and at the end she didn't think she had won,
but through all that she suffered,
and all she endured,
she is now in a better place,
now I wonder if I could beat,
the monster inside my heartbeat,
or is it outside in reality,
I wish for her strength,
and a breath,
I saw her cry?

Again Happy Halloween
