Random Drabble challenge word — administration.
The school’s administration asked us to write poems about our lives for a school poetry book.
I asked Mom to read my poem as I value her feedback.
life’s masquerade,
life’s merry-go-round,
dark clouds and grey skies —
Tear raindrops from my cell,

butterflies breaking free,
a new life,

“Jay, it’s lovely,” Mom says hugging me — a tear in her eye.
