Dark Blue

The house is pretty empty this evening. Just me and the dog. Mom is away in Brooklyn with the boyfriend and my sister and im happy i get this alone time to pretty much reflect on everything. As I sit I tend to over think and just over analyze. However, this time I have come at rest with myself and come at peace.

As the snow falls i see the illuminating cross from across my backyard. The cross of Msgr Farrell High School the school which I had attended as well as my father and cousins. I caught myself in a trance gazing into the blue cross and it honestly made me realize how lucky i was as a person in this small world. 

The school is a prestigious one at best. An all boys private school located near one of the wealthiest neighborhoods on Staten Island. Getting in to the school was one thing but attending and lasting through all four years was something reveled by many. The school breeds success and I had a part of it. I took the time in my trance to appreciate what was given to me.
