Writing

Advocate for yourself,

Believe in yourself, Have

confidence in yourself, Keep your

dignity, Remember, not

Everybody is perfect,

Friends come and go,

"Be the change you wish to see" is something like the golden rule. 

If you wish others to be kinder, 

Find that within yourself.  

If the world needs a hero, 

Become a hero. 

And I'm here again and I love it

Away from my friends

Away from my peers

My teachers

Here with doable expectations

The stage lights glinting off my glasses like melted candlelight

And it feels the same

But in the worst way possible

And I hate this 

More than I hated last year

At least last year

I cared

What I wouldn't give to care now

Mediocre

boring

bland

drawn-out

not over yet

a story with an unfinished ending

an experience so mediocre its bad

a full life dotted with holes

gaps in my well-being

You

always

always

always

follow her around

getting into her personal space

never letting up;

yes,

I know that you two are and have been best friends since kindergarten
