Late

i was late for school because i ignored my alarm 

i ignored my alarm because i stayed up late 

i stayed up late because i pretended i did not have homework 

i pretended i did not have homework because i was overwhelmed 

i was overwhelmed because i missed class 

i missed class because i was tired 

i was tired because i stayed up late 

i stayed up late because i had homework.

  • Dear younger me

    You are music.

    You are art.

    You are the flowers in your hair. 

    You are mismatched fuzzy socks.

    You are your elephant dress over polka-dot leggings. 

    You are rain. 

    You are sunshine.
