The darkness gives way to light.
Morning comes and I feel different, yet still the same.
I’m fully charged and ready to go.
Ready for everything, anything.
So many choices
So bright is my screen this morning, full brightness
100%
Mom stares and I feel her touch, her selection
The weather icon sends me spinning...open
Sunny and cool, you’re welcome mom.
Each square like a life jacket
Keeping the day afloat
Snaps of life documented, sent
The familiar sound of dings and rings
Telling me how life is lived
Darkness deep drop, pocket filled
So this is what the cold hard cupholder brings
Connecting streaming beat
The beat booms out of me
My sister sings along, you’re welcome girl
I flash 8:20 am
Late again, not the bookbag again
It tickles, the waves of vibration
Ok, dad, message received
I wear 3:30 proudly with the sunshine my glare
60%
Numbers, stats, my help for another’s battery gone
4 letters strong, ESPN powered up
Stats, players, who won...you’re welcome dad
When do I help myself? When do I get my turn?
Life moves in an insta...gram
Their hands need me, my lights, my squares
The tickling waves, the constant pressing, wears me down
20%
The expectations, the needs
The worldwide ride
I feel the looming sleep mode coming
Low, low, battery low
1%
Feeling satisfied, needed, calendar wide open
Plugged in for another day’s play
I’m ready for it
Let’s go
