Alaska Thou
Can I Be Scared?
Can I be scared of the creaking floors,
when the wood screams every night?
Can I be scared of rattling branches
When the trees always clap for the wind?
Can I be scared of fluorescent blue floating above my bed,
When it has never felt my skin ?
Or should I find familiarity in the groans of the house I abide in.
Comfort in voices that sing me to sleep in a haunting harmony?
Peace in the faces I can't quite make out, but recognize none the less?
In a city with too much light pollution to ever see the stars, Alaska tries to find the beauty in every glimmer of light they can, and tries their best to share it, through poetry.
