  • There Wasn't One Moment

    It wasn't one moment

    That made me fall in love

    With snowboarding

    I didn't stand at the top of the mountain

    As the wind whipped my hair

    And decided I loved to snowboard

    It wasn't the moment when

  • Alive

    I don't know why

    but something in me loves

    to dance just out of death's reach

    to swerve between its fingers,

    there, but impossible to grasp

     

    letting an inch decide my next breath

    it makes me feel

  • Trapped

    That's not me. 

    It looks like me, talks like me, thinks like me, but that's not me. 

    It may say things only I could know, but trust me, it's not real. 

  • Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
