Lockers

End of school year

Time to clean out lockers

Times of pieces of tapes and ripped pictures

Times of magnets and sparkled stickers

Times of removing full decorations 

Rows of kids cleaning out lockers

I see inside snaps of life

Smiling pictures and times of fun

Birthday wishes for everyone


My locker is blank 

Gray cold and flat

No tape, no pictures, no magnets, no sparkled stickers

No decorations

No smiles, no fun

No birthday wishes

No signs that this locker belonged to me

No signs that I ever existed

All I know is that I have the locker with "I love Martha" scratched in from years ago

That person left a mark

Where is my locker?

Where is my life? 

It isn't here..


Inspiration: The locker cleaning routine that comes with the end of the school year.
