Autumn Daze
The changing of the seasons brings forth hope of renewal.
Just for this moment
I’ll pretend that everything is okay
That there aren’t bills to pay
As we play in the hay
This autumn afternoon
Crunching colorful leaves
Beneath bare feet
Holding a warm cup
Sipping pumpkin spice coffee
Blowing away the steam
Shedding a few pounds of stress
To end the theme
Of too many months past
The chill in the air
Brings that familiar foreboding
Of wintery thrill
That some day soon
The world will change
Like the seasons
Bringing growth
Bringing equality
Allowing society to change
To grow into a better version
Of its self
So for just today
I’ll pretend that everything is okay
That there aren’t worries eating us away
As we forge forward
For a better tomorrow
Leaving our anxieties
Leaving our depression
Our self doubts in the dust
On this crisp autumn day

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
