one person

there's always one person
one person who you look up to
one person who you know nothing about,
but wish that you did
one person that glows so consistently
it seems as if they have the perfect life
the perfect body
the perfect soul
that one person who gets straight A's
and is involved in every club
excels at every sport
that one person who sits at the back of the room
silently
that one person seems content
happy, even
but under their skin
under their clothes, and their straight A's
there's just a person
a person who can't get below an A because they'll be a disappointment
a person who must be mature in every situation
a person who looks at others and wishes that was them
a person who is not really perfect at all
a person who needs to believe in themselves
and although they're your one person
you might be theirs too

  • But then

    i haven't written in five months,

    and i regret it every day

    my room is a mess,

    but i don't know where to start 

    the homework is piling up,

    and my perseverance is dwindling

    i need to practice more,

  • anticipation

    i remember my first day of middle school

    i was wearing washed-out jeans and a t-shirt from Target

    my short brown hair was parted to the side

  • To my sister

    my sister is the most beautiful person i have ever laid eyes on

    inside and out, 

    she is impeccable.

    she is the most generous, selfless, kind woman i have ever met

    whether she's 10 minutes or 10 hours away,
