Living in this World

As I wake up to the morning sunlight
I smell yummy bacon and eggs.
As I look out the window,
I see a blazing sun shining at me,
I feel complete
Living in this world.

As school ends I hear that the freeway was blocked,
Upon hearing the disaster from my dad
I feel so . . . weird.
From my head to my toes it feels all tingly.
I wonder why
Living in this world feels like that?
