we reach the sky slowly

I did this because I had to. I’m not a poet, and I know that what I wrote sucks. But it’s still so cool. And I know that everyone else out there can do it better. Show me how good this could really be…

1. why did you do it?
2. what was the texture of the air?
3. what was the weather?
4. was there a stranger?
5. why did you do it? (different answer than 1)
6. were promises made?
7. would you do it again?
8. why did you do it? (different answer than 1&5)
9. why did you do it? (different answer than 1&5&8)

i did it because of backrubs and silly games
because the air was thick with your regret
because i’m always cold, even in the summer
because i forgot, for one second, who i am
i did it because i had to
because you promised you’d felt something too
i now know that your promises beg to be broken
only is always a lie, forever is just a game
i did it to shatter the dream… and remember the reality.

it’s good, but I was worried for a minthought it was a suicide noteyou write well, don’t put yourself down

Negative Nancy

WHOA! I did it! I dyed it black! I read your note thinking “HOW did she know I wanted it black?!” That’s cool. My mom wasn’t down with it, but she’s alright now. so is my dad. I was mega worried about him, but he’s a loser anyway! Yay for me. It rules. I too, Had red hair, and my family says the SAME thing! Good luck if you decide to go through with it, you’ll love the results. buy two boxes tho.
