halloween mystery!

more than some

i can run on my own two legs,
and that's more than some.

i can tell people i love them,
and that's more than some.

i can wake up with new goals,
and that's more than some.

i can buy food at a whim,
and that's more than some.

i can live a pain-free day,
and that's more than some.

but if only i loved myself more,
that would be more than most.

bliss

they didn't know why,
at such a young age,
how something like this could happen,
without any warning.

they didn't know why,
life veers this way some times,
putting our heads underwater,
leaving us gasping for air.

they didn't know why,
when they found him lying there,
his face looked so peaceful
and his mouth formed a smile.

the umbrella

it's beginning to rain lightly
onto my college campus.
the trees become heavier
as the sidewalk darkens.

walking below that gray blanket
i come across a girl.
she has on expensive clothes
and her hair is simply immaculate.

it is her umbrella that gets me,
with a little pink handle
and clear plastic cover that surrounds her
all the way down to her waist.

This is a two-hour video that everyone needs to see.
