Sometimes

Sometimes

A Poem by Hannah Erickson
"

It's 6:30 and I need to fold clothes, but the bug just bit me...

"

Why do you pretend to be somebody else?

You hold your cigarettes just a little differently

In front of certain people

 

I forgot and wore a belt to bed last night

Didn't care what anyone else thought of it

Doesn't matter to me

 

I fill my notebooks from the back

There's freedom in the quirks of life

You'll find that freedom one of these days

 

And, by the way, sometimes simplicity's better

Gotta keep it Shinto I always say

Let the light shine in at an awkward angle

Let a stanza last too long

 

Even by one line

Gotta read between those sometimes

Sometimes...

 

I get a little tired of excuses

I get a little crazy and I like it

You just need someone to help you

You just need to admit it

I didn't think I would like this but I did.

"And, by the way, sometimes simplicity's better

Gotta keep it Shinto I always say

Let the light shine in at an awkward angle

Let a stanza last too long"

I loved that part! Great point and great job of getting me to feel what you're feeling.

This is the only place where my writing from high school still exists. A lot of it is embarrassing to adult me, but I'm not going to begrudge teenage me of her thoughts and feelings. I may add som.. more..
