The Ticket

Days turn into night

As fast as

Turning off a light

I never knew how bright

Your light could shine

Swift take off

Smooth flight

Tasting the ticket

Paper cut on my tongue

I am still young

Still slouching

Half strung

Still healing

I was stung

Like a cavity

In my lung

Breathing

Without thinking

About breathing

Just doing it all

Without a thought

About how

Just like writing

Right now

Like an actress

Takes a bow

Like a bride

Takes a vow

There will be

A day; hopefully

When all I can say

Is WOW!
