wait. what was my dream again? i remember feeling trapped in rising heat. and there were plastic or cardboard cut-outs all around me. and my gums roots were pushing out my teeth. and the voice of a thousand angels said to me,
"it's temporary."
maybe that should be my mantra as i step into what will inevitably be...
the worst years of my life. ah yes, off to a world in which girls are only to wear pink dresses and boys blue pants. well, i dyed my uniform and embroidered flowers on the sleeves. speaking of, i should probably change into my uniform right now. nah, that shit's itchy. it can wait.
oh yeah, and in my dream, you know when the air below me was sucking my teeth out of their sockets, i noticed that my front two teeth stayed and the gap between them just kept getting larger and larger. how's that even possible? i know right? i wish my mom wasn't passed out right now and at least could drive me to the bus stop. phillipe? what are you doing in there? don't scare me like that.
what was that angel's name again? was it willy or layla? no, i think it was lilith.
god was i fond with that dream. some nights, i would dream it again. i couldn't tell if it was a nightmare or a dream, but i liked it. that angel was right,
"it's temporary."
i can do it.
i watched as my own mother laid still on the floor.
how could my own mother not care about my first day of high school? eh, when did she ever care?
brushing my teeth is now a habit. so i brushed my pearly whites.
my breakfast consisted of one simple bowl of cereal. raisin bran to be exact. unfortunately, we're out. my mother has not went shopping yet again this month.
i sighed and just decided to head to the bus stop.
