Summer:
It's hot and difficult
The air remains wet
But it keeps getting hotter
You begin to sweat
Fireflies
Goodbyes
Last times
Laundromat dimes

Fall:
Halloween is happy
I'm not scared
(More than usual)
It's unusual
Memories of a party
Talking to big sis
And her friends is new
That was new
And I was cool
They were my level
Maturely disheveled
There costumes were simple
With delicate plans

Winter:
Thinking of winter
I think of warmth
Of hot cocoa melting marshmallows
Warm light
Warm smiles
Happily decorating
The Christmas tree at home
Until I must go
To my house
I'm quite slow

Spring:
I missed a week of spring
I went to a mind hospital
You'd think the people were scary
Not at all
It was curling up for a nap
In group
Writing on the chairs
We cuss, no one cares
Making new friends
Breaking old rules
They understand me
There's a scream at night
It raises my neck hairs
Back to reality
She tried
Almost died
Last night
Right, right
I forgot where I was
Time to forget again
In the shuffled cards
I slide my worries
Spring didn't exist
It left in a hurry.
