13

I think it's hard to be 13.

Everyone acts weird.

They used to be nice, now they are mean.

You used to trust them, now they lie to you and spread rumors about you.

They used to be funny, now they are sarcastic.

They used to be chill, now they incessantly beg for attention from anyone remotely popular.

Meaning

Not you.

Your body doesn't even work the way it used to.

You have to relearn how to take care of it.

You have to wash your face?

Use deodorant? 

Shave?

I guess maybe I will figure it all out.

Eventually.

    Music makes me feel

    alive.

    It doesn't always make me 

    happy

    but

    it always fills me with energy.

    Frustration.

    When I can't get it right.

    Passion.

  • Someday

    My best friends live in New York

    And Colorado

    I live

    in Minnesota

    They are miles away

    And

    Sometimes

    I feel lost without them.

    It’s hard for me

    to find people

    I like to be around

  • Who I want to be

    “Stop being a nerd”

    “You’re the smartest kid in the grade”

    “You’re a child prodigy”

    “You’re an academic weapon”

    Okay.

    Fine.

    Maybe I am.

    But 

    My grades

    or winning a kahoot
