grief
The enemy of white hides between the concrete tiles lined across town
Orange, and white capsules littered along the grey lining
Marking the change that comes with age
Chasing one another around, like a pack of wolves
What was once filled with laughter, brake pedals mimicking a fishing rod
Is now filled with silence, the break between acceptance and nostalgia
Like a herd of sheep, pure, white, and loud
These childhood memories resemble what was once a clear blue sky
Yet its stormy now, with the presence resembling addiction
Eating away at the thought of youth, pushing yourself away from those around you
Happiness, so easily attainable, now only available in forms unobtainable
The hiding place of rain shivers underneath the cots protecting our heads
Laying underneath the old remnants of home
Together, the wolf in sheep's skin.

I wrote this piece in order to look back at memories from my childhood, and compare them to what has changed and what hasn't to the present.
