nothing else

I have nothing else to share because:
  1. Everyone knows who I am now and I don't like sharing my stuff 
  2. Everything I write stays in my journal 
  3. If I have anything else to share with you it'll be in journal jam or the slam poetry thing Nelson's holding
  4. We're all graduating so who cares
  5. I'm focused on finishing my online school so I can graduate so I don't have time to write
  6. I wrote one more poem I was willing to share but it's on my notes on my phone that is currently being fixed so I can't retrieve it 
  7. I'm probably going to delete the last 4 posts after I get credit because I posted them for credited and I don't want them to be my last anything else

super girl and robin

We met before our brains were capable of storing their first memories
Forced to be friends because our parents were best friends
Over tim tams and table forts we followed their footsteps and my first memory developed of you was "he's my best friend"
By the time it was my 12th birthday you weren't there because we became consumed in our separate worlds  and those days spent jumping fences play pretending super girl and robin were left swinging on tires
He moved
I stayed
4 years later
I moved
He stayed 
and we were forced  once again against our senior year lives to be reunited with "that kid you had play dates with"
We were grateful for our parents authority because when I saw you I saw that wild kid I could run in the mud with because he was my best friend that didn't care about cudies and when you smiled I saw that smile you got after you finished a tub of ice cream and those afternoons spent with tim tams, table forts, fence jumping, and tire swings surfaced the memory and we were super girl and robin again
But then you moved
And I stayed
And I was left with the watch we stole from that secret tree of wristwatches hanging off the branches we found 
I still listen to the ticking seconds counting down to the day super girl and robin can finally just stay

blue pen writing

I've been struggling to organize my thoughts into blog worthy words and everything I write on that massive notes list I keep on my phone doesn't make it past the first draft so here's something straight out of the journal.
