A sunny Thursday evening

Driving around aimlessly,

I look over and see

The local fireworks stand is up,

I want to feel excited,

But all I feel is anxious

 

Anxious that July 4th seems right around the corner

Which means fall is lurking not far behind

And winter is stumbling nearby

Hands full with seasonal depression,

Cold days,

And lonely nights

 

I think to myself how I should move somewhere it’s always sunny,

Full of laughter,

And just alive,

But that makes me anxious too

Saying goodbye,

Leaving my whole world behind,

 

But I crave something new,

Something more
