February’s False Hopes

Adrianna McKinney '26

Winter comes in

Shut in 

Your room, lying

Sometimes feels terrifying 

Shivering and catching colds

The uncontrolled wind which blows 

You think this will be your year

But when has it ever

A stupid superstition 

Which makes you think of a false aspiration 

January passes 

February arrives 

Makes you start to think love will too

Middle of the month 

Will you find it this time

Will it be true
