All my friends are leaving

All my friends are eighth graders,

Or on the other team.

Aside from two,

Who I hope never tire of me

But probably already have.

All my friends are eighth graders,

Which means all my friends are leaving.

All my friends are going away

To a faraway place

Except for a few

Who are stuck with me.

I have a friend

Who can't spell "coconut"

And who can't spell

Anything

Actually.

I have a friend

Not really a friend

An in-between

Who jumps into our conversations

Randomly

And gives me this Look

Like I'm crazy.

I have two friends

Who are amazing

And watching me write

Who I've written

A lot about.

I have a few friends, out of reach

On another team -

Crazy

Psycho

Nobody knows.

The rest of my friends

The sane ones

Are eighth graders.

All my friends are leaving.

  • Growing up in 6/8

    My band conductor has always said that 6/8 plays itself -

    it does.

    It's easy to just play through but not if you think too much.

    yes I make mistakes

  • Falling in love

    The first thing I ever understood about falling in love

    is that it keeps you coming back

    like magnets

    whether it's good for you or bad for you

    you're addicted.

    And I didn't know the scope of it -

  • New Year

    New year's resolutions.

    I tell myself a lot of things every year -

    I never listen.

    No boys, no distractions.

    Too late.

    This time is different I think -

    I want that senior solo
