Dodging Raindrops
October 2011 (10th Grade)
Sonnet

It's impossible to slam a revolving door.
It's impossible to pray to Jesus
and expect him to give you less
than what you asked for.
It's impossible to dodge raindrops.
It's impossible to turn against today
and go back to yesterday,
like you made time stop.
It's impossible to prevent the wind from blowing your hair.
It's impossible to become Superman,
and with the touch of  your hand,
save someone from their last gasp of air.
It's impossible to bury the skeletons in the closet...
But I did it.
