truth,is
i have met a ton of people and always have a grand ol' time.
but it always comes back to you.
i would give up any friendship for you.
i always imagine what could be...
i could be sharing a bed with you,
seeing your bright face everyday,
and being your wall to fall back on.
i know they say high school is just high school,
and friends will come and go,
but i need your friendship.
i need you.
i'm perfectly fine with just one best friend.
you.
i love you.

.words.
My breathing came in short spurts. I could see the finish line and I was not about ready to slow down. Two and a half miles later and I was almost there! Come on, Sarah. Just a few more steps! I had just crossed the finish line at the state cross country meet my eighth grade year. I had managed to place 47th out of 120. I was feeling proud, minus the epic barfing sensation that was in my stomach. I was squirming as they herded us all through the gates like cattle. My excitement was cursing through my veins to see my family, especially my mother. I was certain that this would be the time that she would proclaim she was proud of me in front of everyone. Unfortunately, I did not know what was to come and if I did I would never have set myself up for disappointment.
The slow-moving line definitely was teaching me patience, but as I busted out and found my family I was really only looking for one person. Our eyes met. We both maintained eye contact as congratulations were being passed out by close and distance family members. For some reason I did not care what anyone had to say but her.
Her lips started to move, my stomach dropped as she said, “Well at least we know what you need to work on for next year.”
She laughed and hit my shoulder…
I was once told that actions speak louder than words. In my younger years, I may have believed this to be true. Fists got the point across. Not speaking to someone for hours on end has proven itself to be a very valid point-maker, however, now that I know the meaning to twenty-five percent of the words in the English language, my beliefs have changed their direction.
My whole life, I have been walking a path that I assumed my mother would love for me to be on and, if you knew my mother -hard-ass, stone-cold, heartless- you would understand the perfect terminology to refer to her by. Basically she is never pleased. No matter how hard you try, how deep you dig, it is still not good enough. I spent the vast majority of my time trying to make an impressed expression appear on her face; unfortunately, all my attempts were failures. It was not until I realized that I would never reach the heights my mother desired, that not only do words hurt when spoken, they also destroy in silence.
I sat through years of yelling and screaming, disappointment and frustration, before I realized that words truly mean everything. My mother’s bitter words stung like a bitch, bit like a snake, and ate away at my main sources of functioning, being my heart and brain. However, as they were eating my insides raw, I finally learned how to use them to my advantage. No, I did not use them on any one to make myself feel better; I simply let them flow out of me and on to that thin slice of wood. You could say that when I realized I could express anything and everything I wanted too without any criticism, it was a blessing in my life, a savior of some kind.
My realization about words came around the time of my freshman year. Fifteen years of growing up to strive to be the perfect child your mother wanted, or perhaps needed, definitely was taking it’s toll on me. However, all I would have to do is write, sing, or do whatever I could that involves words and I would be okay. My freshman and sophomore years, I started playing with words that others wrote, simply because I was not quite smart enough to think of any on my own. I was new to this whole “colorful words” concept. So naturally, I was a lyrical maniac. I quoted lyrics all the time. I sang all the time. I even created my own songs. I gave myself fully to my savior. I do not believe I would have made it if we would not have found each other and it was in each other that we both grew.
As my writing developed, my relationship with my mother started becoming more distant. I became an upper classman in high school and my whole mind set changed. I did not have to spend my life pleasing her. I needed to be me. When I was going into my junior year of high school, I finally realized that. My words became unstoppable.
My writing style went from ‘clearly a freshman’ to ‘insanely sick’ and if you do not know the lingo, my writing became good. Markings on my paper leaned less towards criticism and more towards the A+ every child loves to see. Words became my best friend. Of course, no one but my teachers would be aware of this because I do not tend to use them as efficiently in casual conversation as I should. However, writing brought my mind to unthinkable levels that even surprised me. All my emotions I would love to share are written in various ways on various sheets in various notebooks. I love to write. I have loved it since my junior year and I am passionate about it.
I think it is safe to assume that my infatuation with writing will never lessen. Through all of my childhood I blindly believed that words had no impact on a person until the day reality came and sucker-punched me in the stomach. Looking into my mother’s eyes and seeing silent letters scroll across her pupils brought me to believe that words are everything. Words, in their conniving ways, have always been there just waiting to be used for the good or the worse. It is these inanimate objects that saved me from the fires of Hell. They are my sunshine on a rainy day. I am fairly certain I will be escorting words down the path of rough terrain that they call life until I keel over and stop breathing. Writing and just words themselves have helped me get through some sticky situations throughout my life and I do not intend to stop using the words that supposedly cannot hurt.

hold.on.
pour a little salt we were never here.
staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer.
i tell my love to wreck it all.
cut out all the ropes and let me fall.
right in the moment this orders tall,
and i told you to be patient,
and i told you to be fine.
and i told you to be balanced,
and i told you to be kind.
in the morning i'll be with you,
but it will be a different kind.
cause i'll be holding all the tickets
and you'll be owning all the fines.
come one skinny love,
what happened here?
suckle on the hope and lite brassiere.
sullen load is full so slow on the split.
and i told you to be patient,
and i told you to be fine.
and i told you to be balance,
and i told you to be kind.
now all your love is wasted,
then who the hell was i?
cause now i'm breaking at the britches,
and at the end of all your lines.
who will love you?
who will fight?
and who will fall, far behind?

.forgiveness.
You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.
You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.
You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.
You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.
You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.
You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.
You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I'll forgive you for avoiding me.
You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.
You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.
You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them.
..you forgive me for walking away,

.i'm falling.
i now only eat once a day if that. i'm just never hungry anymore and i don't know why.
i am always tired, no matter how much i sleep i just want to sleep more.
i actually meet tons of new and exciting people but when i sit and think all i think of is being with my best friend.
seems like people are trying to tear us apart again. even 2 of the closest people i know.
i just want to be where you are.
i want to run to you and sit on your bed late at night talking about my day,
or what is bothering me.
i want to go get taco johns late at night.
i want you to braid my hair once a week again.
i want to stay up and take pictures all night.
i want to watch scary movies and hold on to you so tight to make sure you're there.
i don't want to go through this transition without you.
going from seeing you everyday and every night to hardly ever is killing me.
that last long gaze we shared is imprinted in my mind.
it was like a help me.
don't leave me.
don't forget me.

because i don't think the world understands.
i need my other half.
it isn't physcially possible for a human to only live with half their parts.
i miss you.
i need you.

help.
that's basically how i can sum up everything that i'm feeling right now.
first off, it is only the first day of classes and already have a butt load of homework! like seriously what the hell!
secondly, i miss my bestest friend in the entire world. i hate when i'm walking and i see all these best friends rooming together and laughing and walking together. ugh soo that's frustrating.
and third, i just feel lost. i don't know why, but i just do. i don't know what i want in life anymore. i know i want answers, lots of them! but i don't know what questions i have....if that makes sense. i just wish i could go back to me knowing. me knowing exactly what i want.

I would love to be with you soon. I know you have a lot of people you hangout with and I'm not asking to take you away from them, but if there's a night when you're sitting at home doing nothing, text me. I'll be waiting for you. I know I'm not the person you ask first to see what theyre doing, but I'd like to be kinda close to the others. I'm not with my boyfriend nearly as often as you think. Anywho, I'll wait for you.

.me.you.them.
That night I finally spoke of it to someone. Someone I trust beyond belief.. I told them a story. I told them its meaning. I told them everything.. And I cried. I couldnt hardly breath. I couldn't even speak your name without choking on my words. Soooo many tears. It was slightly annoying. But the guilt and shame I felt inside of myself were too much to keep in any longer. I've been clinging so long to the hope. I've been clinging so long to the faith. However, I have no idea what happened. But I was told to stop clinging to something that never was there..
But I don't think I can. It's become second nature because I've been doing it most of my life..
Perhaps, I cling to the hope because I just can't believe that I helped in creating this "monster."
I'm so sorry. 18 years together and this is where we are.. I hope for you. My faith in you will always be there. And I wish you the best of luck on you journey..
P.s. I thank them for listening.. It meant the absolute world to me.

today is thee day.
some people will come back, some never will and some will stay in this town their whole life. it's bitter sweet. some people i could care less if i see again. and others like my best friend i'll feel like a part of me is missing. it'll take a long time to get over that feeling. maybe i never will. i'm one of those people where i find that ONE friend and i NEED them. i absolutely need them. but i'm not too worried. together we can accomplish anything. we're each others halves. we can't be totally separated.
ready. set. go.

Graduation.
I feel anxious, but nervous. Happy, but sad.
On the brightside you don't have to see any of your class mates again if that's what you choose. After all, you can spend only soooo many years with someone before they become that annoyance.
I know this thought is super random and won't pertain to anything. But here it goes:
"Damn, I fell for it again.. Shame on you."

i'm dying to know.
i wanna know why good men die.
i wanna know why i am so afraid of the dark.
i wanna know why we're given eyes when faith is what's supposed to make you see.
i wanna know is it easier to doubt, or harder to believe.
i wanna know why i can't just have all the answers.
how could success make us feel like failures?
how come the harder we fall the harder we try?
how come the more we have the more we need?
so many questions, but not enough time.

getready.getset..thinking.
anywho, i've mainly been thinking about my future..
.
.
.
.
yes, that is me drawing a blank. which is incredibly crazy because i have told soooo many people what my future will consist of. however, right now the only thing my brain tells me, when i think of my future, is you might need a bucket to throwup in, just in case. i'm nervous. extremely nervous. what if, what if, what if.. i can't get the questions out of my head. usually i would be comforted because all the answers to my what if's were the same: she'll get me through. but, as i've found out with my previous best friend, they can't be there nearly as much when they're miles away..
now that i have no answer, i'm lost. more so than i've been before. however, she'll be within my reach during certain times: Days off, visits, parties.. but how long will that last? the visits will lessen. the parties will become lame.. forgetfulness will take over. that's a horribly depressing thought. a thought that has been knocking at my door for a long time. when she first started to become my world, i knew the day would come. you see it everywhere. the idea of loving what was and moving on to what will be..
however, there's always a what if, isn't there? maybe appearances won't lessen. maybe forgetfulness will never come. maybe comfort will remain in her for the rest of my life.. it could happen..
i hate thinking.

just breathe.
i know there's truly no excuses but it took me awhile to understand right from wrong. i had so many things in front of my face or missing completely for almost 6 years. it's not an easy thing to deal with. my dad complains at how much he wants to see us more but yet he doesn't move up here closer to us. he's the one that has to take the step, not us. he's the grown father and we're the kids. he's made way too many mistakes for a regular father. he's missed so much of my life. and now i'm going to college and i'll see even less of him. he's had sooo many chances to change that but he hasn't.
the sad thing is that the last time i truly saw his as a "dad" and not just my father was almost 8 years ago. my best friend kind of filled his spot. she picked me up when i was down, we fought and got angry at each other but we both learned how to see from the other's point of view. we helped each other grow into the people we are today. i don't want this to be the end of her and i's friendship. i want to always stay in touch and be great friends when we're 40 and older.
i'm gonna miss her. more than i could ever express in words, actions or tears.
