We were all supposed to be sent home today for some holiday. I told Ms. Holi I didn't want to go home. She asked me if everything was alright at home. I told her no. She sent me to the bus....

At home the first thing my father did when he saw me was throw a beer bottle at my head. Maybe it was a murder attempt, finally trying to get rid of me for once. Honestly if I was my own  parent I would probably want to murder myself. Nonetheless maybe he thought I was a horrible monster who was trying to attack him. Who knows?

 Jennifer said Ink spilled in the sky today.

 The dark stormy kind.  

The kind that rumbles with the moving mountains, 

the kind that the birds run from 

the kind children shutter from 

the kind people dance  under 

the kind that people gather from 

the kind that people frown at 

the kind that people run from 

the kind that people run to, 

chasing the rolling rivers 

swimming to the small sea's

wading in the waterfalls

running together 

swimming together 

chasing together

wading together

being together


Guess who got and A+ on that?! Jeniffer. :(. Not me. although next year when I'm at a new school I'll pretend I wrote it and than I'll get an A+. What a surprise to  my parents when I arrive home with an envelope containing an A+ next to English and some sweet note my English teacher wrote me.  If only I could write like jennifer or be good at math like lewis. If only I had something. But instead...me is all I've got.
