EMBARRASSMENT AND TRIUMPH

Mixed CD Poem

Back in the day
The movie drawled on
We sat with a trench between us
The bombs falling and bursting
The war starting all over
I should have heeded my friends’ warnings
How typical
You’re friends one day and enemies the next
Frenemies.

Summer is here.
Our friendship is flourishing under the warmth of the sun
Sleepovers. Dinners. Friends.

Winter is here.
The weather is changing
Temperatures drop and the clouds control the air
I can feel the pressure
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty
I’ve lost her and it’s effortless
I’m busy still saying please
But everything isn’t meant to be ok
It will never be the same.

Spring is here.
If only I knew what I know today
Everything is falling apart
I’m starting from scratch
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
It’s so hard to say goodbye
There's gotta be more to life
More to my life
But why can't I let it go
It doesn’t matter
I just have to keep holdin’ on.

Summer is here
Again.
The seasons took their toll
I remember what happened back in the day
She always took the time to criticize me
It was all about her
It was like I’m was the one she loved to hate
Just shut up, shut up, shut up
You’re a stupid girl
I don’t want to hear it
Bow in the presence of greatness
I’m better, faster, and stronger.
