is what i asked people in my grade today, including teachers.

what i got surprised me.

i got a lot of " you're a sarcastic little *****, love you though"
i would just laugh it off. even though i wished that they knew that do that for a reason. it's all an act.

i got a " you're really cool and i wish i hung out with you more."
i didn't really respond to that one since i didn't like the person. i just told her " i don't like you, please don't hang out more." i'm blunt, sorry.

i got a " your sense of humor is extremely distinctive and that's rare. i wish i had that at your age." from my reading teacher.

but i think the most important one was from my best friend.

" you saved me before you even knew i was suicidal, just by calling me and asking i was okay because you knew something was off. truth is, i was writing my suicide notes that day, you stopped me. i love you, alexa marie."

i cried and hugged her with everything in me.

i love that girl and if she went through with it i think i would've died myself.

Her hair is the

color of gold.

Her eyes are ever-changing,

such as the sky.

Her skin, fair and untainted

as a newborn babe's.

Her smile, warm and soft as

the morning sun.

Her heart, made of glass;

cracked but still whole.

Her sorrow's as deep

as the sea;

Her happiness wains with

every wave of turmoil.

But somehow, every day,

her joy is renewed

and she finds a light

in the darkness.
