16 years 5 months and 3 days
Darnell Foster 1981 (Mechanicsburg)
The wind begins to pick up,
Temperature becomes crisp,
Darkness consumes everything.
Everything of beauty dies,
Laughter is no longer heard,
Life now is grey and lonely.
To speak is forbidden,
Smiling is something from a movie,
Nothing feels real.
4 months sitting alone,
Trapped inside my thoughts,
Ever falling into depression.
