For one to pray,
Now is the time
As the house
Constructs roof
On top of roof,
Causing the basement
To groan
And the rooms to
Become obsolete
As the disparity
Becomes clearer
With the
Negligence of
Paint layers,
Revealing an
Increasing display
Of weather-beaten shades,
Growing more pallid.
The people inside
Aren’t much better
As they fail to understand
Its architectural plans
And jump their
Over-ballooned bodies on the floors,
Wondering if they can sink
Anymore.
Author Bio:
Coming from a family of readers, Caroline Gee became quickly interested in the stories and tales of fantastic worlds. While failing to be an impressive storyteller like her older sister, Caroline decided to craft her particular tales, focusing on elements of familial relations and life experiences. Caroline participated in National Novel Writing Month twice, but although passing the word count, she is still working on finishing the first draft. Recently, she developed an interest in poetry, thanks to her Creative Writing teacher. She is currently a high school student and soon-to-be president of the Creative Writing Club.
