They keep changing the clocks, what a shame.

Why can't they just keep time the same?

Kids wake at sunrise

I can't open my eyes

So tired I don't remember my name.

About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the nightβ€”I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.

Also, i love you:)
