Close the gate

Please close the gate!

By Angelica ThomasPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Close the gate!
Let's hide away,
We have to wait.
Wait and stay.

Let's enjoy the view,
And connect the dots.
Agree to not argue,
Whilst we establish the spots.

Let's find our bliss,
And soak up the sun.
Watch the morning mist
Fade as we run.

Run from our fears.
Run from the noise.
Let's experience the years,
And forget about poise.

Let's take off the masks,
Share our smiles.
Answer the questions nobody asks,
And discover our styles.

Let's be human,
No nonsense,
Just true men,
No pretense.

Let's close the gate,
For goodness sake.
Let's close the gate,
On all this hate.

About the Creator

Angelica Thomas

I'm a realist and a dreamer;

An emotional thinker.

I am a homebody that embarks on adventure.

Someone who likes to see the treasure,

as we were all made to measure.

So embark from the start,

I've got stories to impart!
