Shivering in fear. all u can hear is the feeling of terror. u can see a little boy behind u in the mirror. Days are long with sunny clouds and the fresh air. my fair in the breeze and blowing my hair everywhere. Climbing trees with the cold breeze. drinking cold frozen drinks give me a brain freeze.  Time is a setting just a state of mind. looking for clues in a mystery is hard to find. chasing dreams are fun to do. staying happy is fun to. Stars at night are exciting and bright. its a beautiful sight. but i cant see it in the morning when i fly my kite.
