Shall I Compare Thee
When I go out on a summer’s day,
 It is sweet
 Yet the sun is bitter against
 
 My frail skin.
 Pale skin.
 
 Nothing comes between me and my summer.
 I wouldn’t let it happen,
 Come on! It’s MY summer!
 
 My summer of flip flops and ice cream cones
 My summer flies past my skin and bones.
 
 When I’m caught saying goodbye
 To my summer’s day,
 It’s not a pretty sight.
 I cry and cry and cry and cry…
 
 The light of august fades…
 The leaves of fall begin…
 The blue skies and purple sunsets
 And green waves of the ocean
 Turn to gold and brown and orange skies
 
 And purple fades to black
 As eventually we are forced to turn our digital clocks back.
 
 I long for summer, it gets me out of school
 When summer’s over,
 It’s almost as if a new year begins.
 A new year of school, a new year of sports, a new year of stress
 And something I cannot name for cause of possible arrest. (teehee)
 
 Slimfast shakes
 Cannot quench this hunger
 For the sunny days of summer.
