Write a fiction or non-fiction story in poetry or prose about the lifetime of an accessory, (a bracelet, watch, favorite pair of shoes, anything you wear every day) from when you get it to the time you must throw it away through this object's eyes. Make sure to include moments in your life your accessory has seen you through; relationships, big tests, the loss of a pet, anything you would like to include.

I like to run from my problems like they are chasing me.
Like if I go fast enough,
Distract hard enough,
They will disappear.
But they don’t,
And I keep running.
I like to run only in the metaphorical sense.
I've spent my life dancing in between the lyrics
Like the bug avoiding humans on a summer day
I buried myself away
I tried to stay safe,
Stay calm.
Please everyone.
This year I didn’t lay out an outfit for the fourth,
This year I wore all blue
I didn’t want to represent the other side,
Not today.
This year we didn’t go to the parade
