One to the Present

At one, I was a happy little lump of flesh and bones

At two, I found out my parents love would have to be shared

At three, I was a mischievous little devil with scissors  

At four, I became curious  

At five, I left everything behind

At six,  I felt alone in a new school and a new world

At seven, I finally found some friends

At eight, I moved again

At nine, I battled the wasps

At ten, I felt like a queen

At eleven, I fled from elementary school

At twelve, I found my heaven (middle school)

At thirteen, well actually, I am still waiting for it.

  • Skipping stones

    One word, one stone,
    Flat and smooth.
    One lake, one life.
    One stone
    Is flung at the water.
    The ripples spread out like a fan.
    Each ripple changes the water,
    Churning up the sand.
    It hits once, twice, again and again.
  • It Still Hurts

    I look just like you,

    Pale skin, light hair.

    Do you know my blood is a little bit different?

    You might not notice,

    The little things, that show I am different.

    You might notice an accent in a couple words,
  • Keep Them Close

    Friends are there for you if you ask,
    Best friends are there before you even think about it.

    With friends you have to talk,
    With best friends you can just sit side by side, knowing that they are there.
