Brittany - Atmosphere


The Atmosphere Scare


Wear and tear, an eerie stare

The atmosphere: gases that glare, and make the living feel bare

A heavy cloud of obscurity encircles the Earth

Entrapping its contents

Temporary, yet permanent

Personal, yet prevalent

Familiar, yet often unknown

What exists beyond the thick consistency is a mystery

Explore and learn more

Make it an out-of-element-adventure

Search for something, if you dare

For something that you did not know was there

Something to remember

On this night in November

Brittany, age 16
