REBECA BRITNEY

I live in a city of loyalty, and if not trustworthy, there will be consequences. lost for years among lies and deaths.

I speak the language of owls, I only talk at night.

Disguised as a silent shy girl, i will not risk my life on false words.

When clocks are gone, our minds will be filled with pieces of puzzles, confused whether tomorrow was yesterday or if today is tomorrow.

We shall tell time by bells ringing when sunlight appears through the peak of mountains, signaling that it’s the start of a new day and when silver stars appear through the night sky, it signals that the new day has sadly come to an end.

Be a reader of whales, surfing over ocean blue waves.

Be a singer of gold, sign with joy, happiness and love.

Come into the presence of your own lovely, Precious life.

Forgotten by the bad, horrific past you came from.

Halfway between listening to others and listening to yourself.

locked into a chain that only you have the key unlock.

i learned how to be against people’s criticisms, so can you.

we are children of fun unforgettable friday nights.

traveling for days to reach the fields of our youth.

i fear of being betrayed.

hidden by a smile, that can only be described as fake.

loosen the cage and let those blackbirds fly.

if you were leaving i’ll still stand by, even if you are a thousand miles away.

I would give you a book of blank pages, so you can write to me, and when those pages are full of ink and brittle with age, i will write back.
