Contrasting

I have people who will hold me 

Love me

Splash me in sparkles and giggles and emails

And I have people who will hurt me

Snark

Sarcasm

Never really laughing

Never really there

Always thinking about themselves

I try hard not to get mad

And I reread my notebooks and I do.

I do get mad.

All the thoughts all the tears

Repeating myself praying you'd hear and

Then you would but

You wouldn't.

You would

Ignore me.

Horrible

In between

You still run away

Aren't we past that?

All of you

Pick a side.

From finding any excuse to miss recess

Staking out hiding places away from the cafeteria

To angry pacing in my room

Trying to find something to punch so hard and so fast I am lightning

Fire

Burns

And I burned you

But I guess that's just

What I do.

  • Sleigh ride

    Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too

    F F F F F G F-D Bb C D C-A G F-

    imitating the human voice with instruments

    percussion back there repeatedly hitting the sleigh bells

  • Family

    I showed my grandmother my keyboard

    she took six years' of lessons when she was younger.

    Her fingers found the keys -

    she could still read -

    just enough

    just a little.

    I pulled out my flute-piano duet book

  • First kiss

    You cared;

    I tried to.

    You did;

    I thought I did.

    I wanted so badly

    to be a character in my books

    and to feel longing

    to feel needing

    to feel love and to

    be loved
