.childhood innocence.
I thought on days when there isn't much going on, I was going to start posting up some of my poetry. I have journals full of them, but have never really put them up anywhere. You don't have to read them if you don't like, but I'm just putting them out there into the universe instead of letting them collect dust on my shelves.
.childhood innocence.
picking flowers in the fields
worrying about the bees
rather than worrying about the time
creeping up on her
pulling the petals
searching for love in all of the wrong places
the sun sets and rises
years later wondering where the time went
her heart broken too many times
more than the petals of a flower
could tell her
he loved her not...
dreaming of the days
nothing else mattered in the world
skinned knees are easier to mend
than a broken heart
her father can't fix her heart
like he used to fix her dolls
he gives her independence
the independence she once craved
she now wants to exchange
she wants her childhood back
she wants to lay in the fields
picking flowers
drifting off until the sun sets.

This weekend should be fun. I am having a girls' night out with my friends here at school, and then I am making my way home tomorrow morning for Easter weekend. My parents are at the lake right now relaxing (I can't wait until the summer!), but they will be home to meet me tomorrow. It is so awesome at the lake. They are opening up the pool on the 1st of May, so I will definitely make my way down there. It's only about an hour to the lake from school, so it's very convenient to get away for the weekend.
The weather has been GORGEOUS here at school. Today it reached 88*. Talk about motivation to make it to the gym and get ready for swimsuit season!
That's all for now. Happy Easter to everyone!

Your poetry is beautiful, you have a real talent with writing. Have fun with your girls night out. Those are always so much fun. I'd love to open our pool by May 1st, but I doubt it. Our pool is heated, but we still get quite a bit of cool weather in May. Hopefully by the middle of May it'll be open and the kids will be swimming. Wow! 88 huh? It's been in the 70's here and that feels awesome.
I'm no poet nor a critic but this was very cool.
Hope your weekend was fun.
Happy Easter!
