Darker, Darker, Yet Darker

My day didn't go as planned

And my behavior had been banned.

My day was really bad

And my dad got really mad.

I went to my room and reflected my day

While I got out Super Mario Odyssey and started to play.

I thought about everything I had done.

A few minutes later, I was gone.

Everything got darker, darker, yet darker.

Everything got darker, darker, yet darker.

I felt depressed.

This feeling was new.

I didn't like it.

That's all that I knew.

I tried to think of happy thoughts.

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

But it wasn't enough.

So I called for help.

Then it happen.

I saw a bright light.

Igt got brighter, brighter, yet brighter,

And it felt alright.

I thought I had died, until I could hear

A young girl's voice, which was music to my ears.

I reached for the light, as far as I could.

I touched with might, as one would.

I was determined.

I was determined.

The light faded.

Everything was clear.

You know what I didn't hate?

That my family was here.

And it was at that moment I realized,

"I like turtles".
