January 21st should be banned
We said
A bad day for everyone
First day of mocks for 10s and 12s
Levi broke a girl's glasses with a basketball
I fell down in the court
Someone else did too
I could barely walk somehow
Chatted with Mr. David and Mr. McMaster
Intelligently
My friend didn't leave me but she's sick now
She'll leave me now
Only four kids came to practice
Just thank goodness he doesn't go to my school
That would be awkward

Don't thank God
We forgot to pray

I almost died a lot of times
Everyone else did too
A jaguar out
Old shoes on a worn body
Worn skin

Why didn't God just veto the idea of humanity
We don't need me either

In agitation
Boys are easy

I somehow found time to study everything
I swore I wouldn't but time appeared magically today
I remembered January 21st was my favourite kid's birthday
My make believe one from when I was a kid

And You said
Don't veto humanity
Because I made their hearts to break so I can heal them
And I shaped them so they love
And when they forget I remember

Because when I feel good about myself
You remind me not to
And when I think You should veto humanity
You remind me why not
