if we never said hello

if we had never said hello to creative writing, whether it be the version I took in 8th grade from mr brooks, the facinating senior class I took as a junior, or the push my limits advanced one, then I wouldn't be able to say I like writing. 

one day I read a poem

no I can't tell you the name 

nor the victorious author 

but I can tell you it hit me

and I knew I could do the same thing

so little 8th grade me did

and did it again 

switched the format

changed the font

again

new topic

different pen 

fresh notebook

did it again 

it was almost like natural 

ya know, no effort 

mr brooks was pleased

it has been established that I could write

wasn't fantastic

but I could do it 

then a teacher thought I had the balls to read it in front of everyone?

nah nah nelson

im just a junior no way

who says my writings....

worthy

important

influential?

so of course

I read it to every senior

and psh it wasn't that scary

now old fart senior that just wants to graduate 

has mastered the idea that writings fun and I can stand up and slam my work anyday

give me a time and place 

I'll be there 

but somehow still needs a due date in order to get things done

and that's just me 

I'm sorry 

but out of all the classes I took

and man there was a lot

this one taught me almost the most

I learned how to speak 

speak up 

speak out 

speak for yourself 

speak to someone you don't know

speak under a fake name 

speak with 

speak alone 

and now I'm good at speaking 

with that talent 

im gonna speak a few last words

love you CW

thank you 

this is bye
