Little Times By Lael Lopez

Little Times

Sometimes we love
That which we shouldn’t
Sometimes we’re pulled
In a terribly wrong direction
Sometimes we’re blind
Blind to that which would kill us
Unaware of those who’d betray us
Sometimes we hate
Hate so strong it’d sink islands
Sometimes we regret
So, strong it breaks us
Sometimes we’re so high
That we come crashing down
To a new sort of low
But in these little times
Where everything is terribly wrong
Or perfectly right
That we see who we really are
We see who we should trust
And who we shouldn’t
Who we loved
And who we couldn’t
That’s why I love
These little times

Lael Lopez is 15 years old. From the young age of 8 she knew that writing was her path in life. Growing up on a little island in the Caribbean called Trinidad and Tobago, she never had many opportunities for her writing to flourish but she still continued. Her poems are related in some way to Sadness, Darkness and Love.
