    I miss him

  • The Blue Bucket

    I was 11—just a little girl playing on the swing set. I saw the picnic table, a white mother and her daughter were walking toward me. They were getting closer and closer as their baritone steps bared down on the rough pavement.

  • Surrender

    The screen stares back at me: 

    9:30 pm, 

    an unfinished assignment, 

    a deadline due.

  • Can I tell you something?

    Can I tell you something?

    I know it’s crazy but it’s nothing like how it is inside my mind.

    Can I tell you a secret?

    I’ve been falling for a while,

    And I’m starting to give up on pretending,

    I don’t not like you.

    I am teenager. I am on the cusp of life, a time when my entire life is ahead of me yet I am beginning to feel as if some parts of it are behind me.
