A Message to Pratt Writing Majors
Maybe you're just jealous because you're not as hopelessly romantic as me. I'm sorry if I'm not as self-important as you, and I'm sorry if my ideas are different than yours. Last I checked, that doesn't mean I'm wrong. And, just because I'm not a writing major, it doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to take writing classes. I love to write, and I may not have gotten into your exclusive, elitist program, but I won't let that stop me. You can't take my passion away.

Post-Op
Pull the sutures tight
so these track marks on my heart will fade.
You left a gash in my chest
that I never want to go away.
You left it good and deep,
so it will forever stay.

Haikus
So my assignment for today's short fiction class was to write 5 poems of 10 lines or less. I wrote a series of 5 haikus:
In the summertime,
I want to fly kites with you.
That would make my world.
When I was younger.
I dreamt I would change the world.
I haven’t grown up.
What time is it now?
I lost track a while ago.
I must love living.
Air today is warm-
Your touch is even warmer.
Your skin is lovely.
The leaves turned today.
From green to brown, then fell off.
Later on, it snowed.

What I Want Most
Why is it that the one thing I want the most in the world, to fall in love, I can't actually make happen? I have to wait for it, which is completely frustrating, especially since I lack patience.

Newfound Sense of Self
I feel so fucking good. This is the happiest I've been in a long time; this is the best I've felt about life in a long time. I've got nothing left to lose, and nothing to prove. Fuck Pratt, that place blows. I'll miss Brooklyn more than Pratt. But I'm moving to Manhattan I think, so whatever, I'll come visit. I'm a fucking city boy, that's for sure. I confirmed that today, looking at MCLA and Green Mountain College. I think I'm seeing Brand New tomorrow night, can't wait. And Kevin Devine the next night! Epic weekend for sure. I hung out with Nicole tonight. we saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I don't care what anyone else thinks, I loved it. Live every moment like it's your last. I'm out.

I Don't Know How To Say This
This song basically sums up how I'm feeling right now. It's by The Early November.
"God only knows what I would say to you.
You'd hear just some scattered parts of words I'd mumble to you,
Of words I'd mumble to you.
I thought that at first it would be good for me.
I've come to find out that I just lost my feelings,
I've lost all feeling.
This is the closest I have come to giving it all away,
To giving it all away for someone else.
This is the closest I have come to giving it all away,
To giving it all away for someone else.
God only knows what I would say to you.
I've waited so long, I'm feeling numb to this lonely tune.
I'm numb to you.
I thought it would help if I could sweat it off.
Like a fever, I would wake and it would be gone.
Yeah, it would be gone.
This is the closest I have come to giving it all away,
To giving it all away for someone else.
This is the closest I have come to giving it all away,
To giving it all away for someone else.
God only knows what I would say to you.
I've waited so long that I forgot what I should do."
