Lamentations For A Summer That Never Existed

I Put on my

Summer Shorts,

And my vest Top

And lamented for a

Summer that never

Existed.

 

I danced in front of the

Mirror and pretended

To be a pop star.

 

I went outside into the snow,

And broke down,

Wondering what was worse,

That you went without

For so long

When it wasn't

On offer,

Or now that it is,

You deny yourself.

 

When I returned

To the house

My hands were purple,

But that is normal,

So I wasn't worried.

 

I went back to my

Mirror,

Put on an old skirt

And danced like

I was a ballerina.

 

But I wasn't very bendy.

So I did a back bend,

Just to see if I could.

I fell down and

Hurt my head.

 

And I cried as

I remembered

Summers of doing

Back bends on

The hill,

With people I now

Love to hate.

But I'm a better person now.

(I'm skinnier and have better hair.)

 

I was called down

For dinner and

I quickly changed into

My jeans and T-shirt.

 

We watched the dancing

On the T.V,

And I got Up and

Waltzed With my cat,

Before crashing in to

The christmas tree.

My Mother yelled at me.

 

So I went back to

My mirror and remembered waltzing

In a field,

With a real person,

In a summer that

Never happened.

 

And I remembered

Long starry nights

Around a

Fire,

With people that don't exist.

 

I went outside,

Where People know I'm real,

And I danced in

The snow.

Then I remembered who I Am,

And People laughed and told me I can't

Dance.

 

So I went

Back to my mirror

And danced like a ballerina.
