4- Drifted.

Its crazy how one night can effect the rest of high school. When we all crammed into her car after a basketball game, and drove into the middle of a field to just have fun for a little bit. Or when six of us sat around the lake, playing a dumb game of baseball. The weather was still nice. I haven't talked to them since, but when we make eye contact in the hallway, I can feel the fire radiating from their souls, searching for a purpose or some friends that might stick around for a little bit longer than three and a half hours. Don't tell me you don't remember laughing, and hugging when the sun went down and the wind picked up. Every ounce of love in our body being poured into one another with no regrets. No hesitation. That's just how it was. And now its eight in the morning on a Friday in May. And its nice outside and I haven't talked to any of you 6 months. I'm in pain.

When I think of you I see a burning building. An art museum up in flames. Vincent's sunflowers melting away while I scream stop.  Help. At the end of the day, I still apologize to you for being too sensitive. Too fragile.

We fall in love with the idea of being in love. We try to fit two pieces of the wrong puzzle together and try to make it look pretty. Look at this wonderful piece of art. Falling apart at the edges, ripped at the seams, beautiful kind of teary eyed love.Why can't love be Fraggle Rock on a rainy Sunday afternoon? Why can't it feel like a warm towel waiting for you when you come inside from exploring puddles? Growing up we memorized tales of how princesses would fall madly in love with a prince. Happily ever after. At 8 years old I found out the difference between a fairy tale and real life and I just don't think its fair. Boys pick on you because they like you. Girls ignore you because they like you. We fall in love with the wrong ideas of love and it tears us down to pieces until we are stuck crying in the corner of our room over a break up text. Living in this generation is already hard enough, are you telling me that there is no one out there to live it with me? No one to...

intro-ish

I process things better when I write them down. I don't know how to deal with my problems but I've gotten really good at avoiding them for less important things. Like right now, I have homework that I should probably be doing, but instead I'm watching The Fifth Element and writing this. I'm not Theodor Seuss Geisel, I'm Oliver. And this is my poetry.
