Because She Never Noticed
She was a smart girl
She was pretty
She was kind
She was hard to get
The only thing in the world she lacked
Was how to be in a relationship
She sat alone at lunch
She walked alone in P.E.

No One Remembers
A secret
A choice
Back then, we were just so
Oblivious and so insensible
To the clear misunderstanding
right in front of our faces
-
As if
We sit alone together
Pretending to be something we wish we were
Not liking the something we are
Because, maybe pretending to be something we're not
Will fix all our issues

The Hollow Pumpkin
The season changed and so did you
Growing cold and flicking me away
As if I was just a fly that flew
Too close to your nose
And as golden leaves fall to the ground,
Sometimes I feel like I did too

Shadow
I trudged behind you,
eyes locked with your back.
I'd gotten unpleasantly comfortable
letting you take the lead.
Sometimes I felt like an actor,
playing the part of your shadow.

An Impossible Friend?
Do you remember that tall tree
with the wide trunk and knotted roots?
The one that stood alone in the middle
of a wide field that seemed to stretch for miles?
No? You don't?

Balance beam
I'm walking on a balance beam
I knew this would happen.
We all work so hard for this
You do too
We try to include everything
Every article
Every story
We can't
We have page limits.

Orange pen
Orange pen
curving, looping, tracing my thoughts onto a page
fulfilling my orders
moved by my hand.
Orange pen
flying, soaring, leaping
dancing across the page

How come?
Are you aware
what you did?
For the third time?
Once again?
Do you know
how I feel?
Ignored
overlooked
how come?
How come you didn't put in my effort?

Used to
I used to love fall
nostalgia, pretty leaves
now time flies faster.
I used to have friends who visited my house
just to say hi
who biked by
without a trace of jealousy of any boys I liked

Always second best
Today,
I told my dad about something I made.
I told him it was the second best in my class.
And I was proud of it.
But he said to put in more effort.

A crazy back and forth world
Light and dark,
Dark and light.
Yin and yang,
Yang and yin.
Something comfortable in the uncomfortable,
And something uncomfortable in the comfortable.
I know it doesn't make any sense,
