Surrounded by noise It sounds senseless Dense and thick like The smooth peanut butter My mom used to layer on my sandwiches
Voices all around me But I still feel so empty Arms supporting me Maybe I’ll be okay I say
But I’m so afraid of being alone
I find comfort in things I remember Like the color of the house I grew up in Soft yellow Like the flowers that grow around My school
I find solace in a stranger passing me In the street At 10:00 pm on my nightly excursion Even on the dreary nights When I hear the voices And the noise I know I’m not alone
The Gettysburg address was a dedication to Soldier's National Cemetery, a cemetery for Union soldiers killed at the Battle Of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.
