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
