You changed my mind but not my heart
I quickly got ready for school today. I did not want to interact with anyone even teachers. I’m only going to school for my education nothing else. No friends, no boyfriends, no parties and definitely no getting in trouble. I quickly left my house before my parents could give me the ‘you better stay focused in school” speech. My parents always claimed I was the good child but I knew I wasn’t, there are things I have done that my parents do not know about. They barely let me buy a skateboard cause they knew I wouldn’t stay focused if I had one but it’s actually helped me a lot.
It was my transport of getting away from things I couldn’t be surrounded by.
I remember when I was at the store once and there was this girl. She was gorgeous and then she spoke to me and said that my hair was really cool and reminded her of fire. That's when I grabbed my skateboard and left the store. You dyed my hair the night I realised we couldn’t last. You always said I was like fire because I never stopped talking and fire doesn’t stop burning. That was the day my fire burned out. You said things that my heart couldn’t take but my mind told me to stay with you. We talked about our future together and how we would stay together forever and I got scared.
Now i’m entering a new school, without you.
