I remember wearing plaid shirts,
jegging jeans,
with purple & orange converse shoes,
Braces with crazy rubber band patterns
to straighten my teeth
Chasing crushes stupidly,
and my mind running wild with
endless imagination

I stayed up past midnight,
writing several pages by hand
of stories
only for them to be thrown away

I remember sharing a room with
three other people,
overcrowded and no space
And the clutter of useless objects

Sleeping upon returning home
making up hours missed,
before I spend the night awake again,
writing endlessly
wanting and wishing to be
in another world
