    I hear it’s Fall

    At least, that’s what they all say

    The crackle of leaves beneath rubber

    The whiff of cider at supper.


    Is it true? Has Autumn come to show her rusty face?

    Summer’s warm gaze upon my skin fail to convince, however

    but there’s no mistaking neither leaves’ deaths, nor that cool, sweet breath.

    And regarding balding golden groves, I suppose we are nearing November.


    Always found it strange here

    how quick the seasons change

    (It snowed in May, for heaven’s sake)

    but Autumn’s temperament is something else.


    Sandals? Shoes? Short sleeve or long?

    Will it be cold or will it be warm?

    Will the sun come out or will it storm?

    I want to know!


    It’s as if Summer and Winter composed a duet

    For I wake with shivers, but work with sweats.

    Her eyes weep daily, though mine stay narrow.

    “Bipolar,” in one word, for it feels like snow!


    Early morning, wear your jacket

    Then sweat from noon to midnight.

    We have a saying about Tennessee weather

    “If you don’t like it, just wait five minutes!”


    If only Autumn’s smile would let me forget her predecessor.

    If only her breath didn’t belong to her successor.

    If only I found her moodiness endearing!

    Instead I find it unnatural, her inconsistency.


    All I desire is some semblance of normalcy!

    To watch the leaves dance in their descent!

    To require no need to dress in layers!

    To hush the nay-sayers and cheer the players!

    To drown my sorrows and my discontent

    because steady sometimes though, she has been

    since every game day, we almost win!


    Autumn, I think you should leave. I think we’re through

    And no, it’s not me. It is most definitely you.

    I don't understand what to do
    you push me and pull me
    but don't tell me what to do


    I look around, I'm feelin' blue
    you ask me what's wrong
    I just say it's the flu

    you've never understood me
    saying it's all in my head
    it's not real!

    I cant take it anymore
    I want this to stop
    I'm tired of feeling blue

    Anger is exhausting
    Anger is depressing
    Anger is frustrating

    You gotta look on your face
    You can't smile
    You just want out, make haste

    Anger is toxic
    Anger is impulsive
    Anger is annoying

    You snap at everything
    You're trapped
    You just want out, make haste

    Anger is deafening
    Anger is sickening
    Anger is terrifying

    You're stronger then this
    You can smile now
    You can get out, make haste!
