Aging

When I was four I wished for five, 

When I’d be in Kindergarten

When I was five I wished that preschool would come back again

Again at six I wished to age

At seven I wished the same

And then at eight I wished I was a little kid again

At nine I wanted double digits

10 was the year things fell apart

At 11 I wished for middle school

And 12 I wished to take that back

At 13 I wished for high school to come

Now 14 I wish for all those years

So I could wish for what I had

  • Fourth of July?

    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 

  • For old times' sake

    I don't know you. 

    I knew your laugh and the way your eyes crinkled,

    I knew that you loved chocolate and hated shrimp, 

    I knew everything about you,

    But I don't know you.

    Not anymore.
