I Won a Mathematics Award in the 5th Grade

I began my life active with sports and other meaningless award systems.

Girl's recreational soccer, basketball, bike riding, math competitions, the works

Today, I feel weightless

useless would be best fit

As if all the running, jumping, yelling, point requiring statuses pushed the light out of my transitioned life.

 

I find myself sitting in one area often, as one may do

But different than sitting on a bench or sitting actively in company of others

I sit wondering exactly who I am looking at

Why am I empty lifeless longing towards an imaginary spot in the distant wall

I imagine some events in these minutes of stoic despair

Hearing goes weak and frozen, in this second, while I continue my Sunday brunch with non-conformative attitudes and her mother, the sweet old dementia

I don't mean to have their meetings often, I must of first acquainted as the first grade trauma or the Broadway rendition of Alone Thoughts featuring the Broken High School Years.

I hope to work the wheels again, to end these meetings and to live for once, in the midst of motion and pause.

This time, stopping and starting as I please.
