Lost Soul Happy Soul

dedicated to Elizabeth Ruby

In LSHS you will see a couple pieces by me that I feel have summed up most of my time at Millikin and really everything that has happened and felt since 2020.This is most of the good the thoughts and feelings to certain changes in the place I stay and the person I’m with now. I had many to select from and it was hard however I feel these are the best and the most heartfelt meaning. Try to have an open mind and I Hope You Enjoy.

longer days
like a blank notebook
ready to be filled

walking the sidewalk
like a hallway
confused on what to do

7 billion
not enough
still alone

sweat pours
laps and laps
how bad do I want it

when I hear
that song . . .
I become new

pleasant life
2020
what happened
