I step out of my house.
Into the cold, the warmth,
the rain, the snow.
I smell the new mulch,
the earth recently wetted,
the sharp cold air.
Music sounds in my ears.
Words that bring joy and hope,
accepted despair, anger.
I settle down into my pace,
walk down the street,
one way or the other.
One way is the path of friends,
of hidden lakes, tree houses, and dog walks.
The other, the path of mystery,
that leads me deep into solitude,
that calms me.
Little creeks reach far off, into the distance,
catch my interest.
Could they lead me to some magical place,
all my own?
Children laugh, and I hear.
I remember days, when that
Sometimes, I sit and think.
My brother has this book,
That talks about what
Could have happened.
What if Hitler had been killed?
Or the Confederates won the
Civil War.
Stuff like that.
And I find myself formulating
One for my own life…
What If?
What if my best friend from kindergarten,
Maggie,
Hadn't left the school?
Would I be friends with Jessie?
Or any of my other friends, for that matter.
What If?
What if the baby that was supposed to be
My older sister hadn't died?
David wouldn't be the oldest.
Would I even have been born?
What If?
What if the builder who was
Building our house in Franklin Farm
Hadn't gone bankrup

Wow, I haven't posted in quite awhile. Yes, I did finally get my permit, after failing twice. But what's important is that I have it now. Anyway, so I've been getting along pretty well, right now I'm psyching myself up for the end of the school year. I'm so tired right now, I can't wait until I can sleep in everyday! Not to mention being forever rid of Mr. Stevens. Alright, I'll admit that he isn't that bad of a teacher, or a person, but I just don't like trying that hard in a class. Haha, how lazy am I? Anyway, I'm also looking forward to being an upperclassmen next year, with the new uniforms and the respect and all that junk. So,
stupid....freaking......idiotic.......GRARGH! I failed my stupid permit test, so now I have to wait 15 DAYS to take it again! Argh! And we have to go back to the mall, and register, and wait, and do everything again! And some of those questions weren't ever on their online test, nor were they covered in Driver's Ed! Right now I sorta wanna blow up the DMV, so nobody give me any explosive or destructive materials for now.
Okay, I saw some cute emoticons, and since it would be really annoying to use them all in a message to someone, I thought I'd just put them here. Enjoy!
