Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition
I am still reflected in my mirror
soon the sun will come and help to prove me right
It's getting cold and I am worried
about getting through the winter
burning candles in my room to cut the chill
But I can just see myself in spring
dressed up like a past-due notice
pale yellow...
or collection agency green
And I can just hear my brother laughing
when we can afford to go have dinner
There will always, always be a spring
Wherever the sun has gone I will always be me
