There are many paths one can take
Some paths paved with rainbows and butterflies
Over darkened but revenge and rage
The greatest path of all is long and never ending
Working at it day by day
Caring for it all the way is part of the journey
But the outcome is greater than one could envision
Through the countless sleepless nights
For love is worth walking on hot rocks
And climbing over mountains
For a feeling that you share with only one another
Is a gift and so be thanked not taken for granted
A drama, a love story, a coming of age novel, a horror story, and an action adventure, everything in one bind together is the high school experience. Not just my high school story, but everyone who has ever survived the longest four years of their lives. It would be generic and a lie to say everyone goes through the same journey, because everyone life and situation is different, but it is true. Just like every person has a nose every nose has an embarrassing high school story. Just like every person has two ears, every pair of ears has two terrible high school rumors about them. Just like every person has a mouth, every mouth laugh will those one or two absolute best friends in high school. Just like every person has two eyes, every pair of eyes has two swords, one stabbed in the back and the other in the heat. No to people in the world have the exact face, no to people in the world have the exact journey, but in the end they survive and become who they are for the better or for the worse. Either way no journey, is a journey with taking the first step, into a building filled with hormonal teenagers that are just as clueless as yourself. Don’t worry, you will survive. Just know that it doesn’t last forever. It may feel that way now, just look at how far you’ve come when hope gets lost and the tunnels go dim, try to imagine how far you can go, what you will achieve, because you are great.

he had everything
figured out and as if
my words were plugged into
a math equation
y=mx+b equals
anxiety disorder
he must of said those words
a hundred times as if
it was my new name
for i am now another
broken teenager that can be fixed
with just one pill a day
now i’m normal
according to society and medicine
but why do i feel so abnormal
not in control of my life
the prescripttion, has a suicidenote
which is strange
cause i have never thought
about an escape route
till now
whats wrong with me
how many more appointments
and it could be this
or it could be this
till i am happy
and possible even smile
if i lose my self tonight
at least it will be by your side
for you only get one life
and i want it to be with you
through thick and thin
through the bad and ugly
for it will make one hell of a story
as we ride together in the sunset
on our magical unicorn Chloe
the way you move
it as if everything you do is perfect
from the long strides in the hallways
to your heavy breathing after a touchdown
all of it feels me with little precise butterflies
fluttering in perfect in a beautiful lullaby
the color of your eyes
glimmer like that of a golden retriever
in the heat of the summer
his hair glisten
like those in fair tails
and mystical stories
don’t even get me started
on the sharpness of his
perfectly edged jaw
as it meets together forming
the perfect chin
that sits perfectly upon my head
and he hugs be from behind
the lips that are natural soft
no need for chap stick
for the kisses are like those
of imaginary baby angles with bows and arrows
we can’t change the fate
nor alter our chosen paths
for our lives our planned
Don’t get it twisted
Don’t try to understand
Don’t feel sorry for me
Don’t pretend that you care
Don’t cry
Don’t fake it
Don’t wear black
Don’t place flowers
Don’t like the Facebook pages
Don’t live as if it effects you
Do live
Do love
And do what makes you happy
Just like I did
tonight i sat at home
imaging what i would be doing
if i was there
having fun
dancing like an idiot
with a boy that loved me
even through i cant dance
for if i dream the same dream
enough maybe it will happen
listen closely for the beat is pounding
as the sweat slowly dips
the goosebumps on my stomach begin to rise
as the pressure on my neck
makes me lose control
every emotion is heighten
moving every muscle in our bodies
intertwined feeling together as one
i watch what i say
as i am afraid of what
my tongue may slip up
for i fear the look
upon you pretty face
would be disappointment
as your beautiful smile
turns into anger and confusion
so in the meantime
i will keep my words
to my heart and soul
but do know this
that one day
whether you want to or not
you ears will hear those three words
for they have been replaying
in a loop over and over again
and will continue
until i find the courage
to overcome my greatest fear
Next to number on
New York’s bestsellers list
Was my last name
This was until I received
My English paper back
I’m on a roll
What can I say
Four D’s in a row
My future is looking so bright
