Walking in a line

I

walk

in a 

line

between the guys

the preppies

the in-betweens

when brought into anything

I will

high five smile

playful banter

whatever

I'm outgoing

I'll go out

to make you like me

but not over-the-top

if you don't

I don't

I'm walking in a line

not quite someone

the guys can hang with

                                           -but they joke tease talk to me-

the preppies can gossip to 

                                                 -because I don't like them and they're mean-

the in-betweens can confide in

                                                          -unless they're my friends-

kind of all over the place

all up in down

this line is not linearughlinear

it's wiggly

squiggly

ups and downs and round and round and round.

  • 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
