Tee Shirts and Blue Jeans

When she was little 

She wore the same shirt every day

In different colors 

The shirts where plain with a small design 

Her mom bought her plenty of sweaters

With cute patterns and fun colors

But all she would wear was her plain ones

Because the girls in her class wore similar ones

When she got older 

She wore blue jeans every day

Because blue jeans don't stand out

But she got a sewing machine for her 13th birthday

And starting making cool pants

She didn't wear them though,

Not away from her mirror,

They didn't fit in like plain shirts and blue jeans did

One day a friend came over

"Cool! Did you make those? She said."

"Yeah, they're okay I guess."

Replied the girl, in her hoodie and leggings

"You should wear them to school" said her friend

So that's what she did

And everyone loved it

And the girls were oh so impressed

That was 15 years ago now

And that girl has her own designer brand

  • Today

    Today I've walked around school in a haze

    I don't know what to do 

    How to feel 

    I don't understand

    How he won again

    I don't think I want to understand

  • Halloween

    I miss Halloween

    Not because it changed

    But I did

    I miss going with my parents and my brother

    And stuffing my face with candy

    I miss meticulously planning out a costume

  • The Season of Death

    Death reaches his hands

    Shrivels leaves

    Rips them up

    Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting
