A field of dandelions

Walking through a field of dandelions

Clinging to my wish,

Clutched in one hand,

Wondering what on earth

I could possibly ask this field of dandelions for.

 

Should I ask

For my audition to go well?

Or something personal like

I hope my friends don't hate me by the end of this year?

Or should I ask

For good grades

Or maybe

For next year to

Not suck?

 

All the questions

Echo around my brain

As I stand among the flowers

In this field of dandelions,

Clinging to my wish.

  • What I want

    I wasn’t

    Sure.

    Not one hundred percent.

    I knew I wanted it

    But I wasn’t prepared last time

    We weren’t ready last time

    I’m surprised I was ready this time.

    But I was -

    We were.

  • Hindsight is 20/20

    I am here to say this

    in only facts

    because I don't rely on feelings.

    Fact:

    Your Mr. Remarkable is quiet.

    Cold.

    Closed off.

    Didn't interact unless

    absolutely necessary

    smiled maybe twice.

  • Island

    I would feel -

    relaxed if I were

    on an island by myself.

    I could forget about

    my life

    forget about overdue math

    and whether I'm behind or not

    doing the right thing is always wrong
