Twirling, taunting,
Fluttering, flaunting,
Silver with optimism,
Wishing on a star.

Sitting in the park this evening watching the sun go down behind the nor’west arch.

‘Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.’
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

I’m proud of myself
I was genuine and authentic
I felt myself grow
And become
The person I wish to be
In my soul.

Love is fickle
Love is kind
Love makes you lose your mind

Love is sour
Love is sweet
Love makes your heart skip a beat

Love is special
Love is plain
Love isn't at all mundane

Love is something you can't explain
It's a feeling in your chest, your gut and brain
Idk man, just felt it
If I could turn back time
I would hit Backspace all day,
Id put on Caps Lock
and SHOUT what I say.

I'd use the whole Alphabet
To tell you hello,
Press seven Numbers
Til you picked up the phone.

I'd Tab through the comments
I didn't want to hear,
And use the Arrow Keys
To drag your body near.

I would Delete the harsh words
I didn't mean to speak,
And Insert the "I love yous"
I before couldn't leak.

I would use Ctrl to
Keep reigns over my heart,
And I would Escape lies
That tore us apart.

I'd Print out your photo
And kiss it goodnight,
Use the Calculator
To check that we were right.

I'd Paint you a picture
of us, you and me,
Then I'd hit Enter
Just so you would see.

Those are the things
I would do in my strife,
If only Backspace
worked in real life.
This is the first poem (that I have a copy of) i wrote that I actually thought was good. I was in seventh grade, twelve years old, and I wrote it for a newspaper competition. I knew it was really great but I didn't think I would beat all other applicants in the state in my age group. So you can imagine my surprise I'm sure when I DID win! That is the first time I was proud of my writing. So this one has a lot of special sentimental value. Thanks for reading.

Remember when the sun kissed you darling?
No?
Look at your skin and the memories will come flooding

I still have my doubts but now I'm almost out

Of the dark in my mind and past the line

I drew in the sand. It's getting better again.

I'm happy now. I didn't think it was possible "wow..."

I'm happy now, yes, but I still have this twinge of guilt that is pressing against my chest

I haven't been unfaithful but my intentions weren't always just playful

I've had bad thoughts and now I feel like a robot

Going through the motions without any emotion

I'm trying to get on track but something keeps pulling me back

This isn't an attack or excuse, it's just a map showing this path I'm walking is not a cruise
