Hidden

I had been ditched. My best friend for 5 years just abandoned me. I was speechless. I could not produce words to come out of my mouth. Last recess I had played with the new girl, and the next, she was gone. I could only hear. I could hear her talking to her new friends, laughing like we did together. I could hear her talking about some funny cat video that she would've told me. I was feeling left out. But I could not speak. I could not go join them in their fun. I had to hide.

  • Running Behind

    “Huff huff,” Trying to catch my breath knowing I have to keep going. The sweat on my face is telling me to speed up. I push on, checking the time on my watch. I can't stop until i’m done. I see the others finish. I'm close.
  • Relax

    My day is done. My voice was heard. Now I can relax. Climb into my cozy pajamas, and rest. One long week has gone by, and the next two days are to myself. As I walk home I can see the busy traffic of people trying to get home to their families.
