My tribute to a sweatshirt

You can stay awake really it is 

Only 34 more which one did we

Miss you

Sydni you can always 

Come over I'm back from 

Student council is finally 

Done. No more flash cards to worry

About 3:30 am and we still have

More Marco! I know you can  

Eat and drink that is what I have to do to

Stay after school with me and see Mrs

Chamber of secrets literally changed my 

Life moves really quick 

Now we can help study in college

Winky faces aren't just thrown around 

Between you and me I have felt the 

Same score of 

100% honesty from me? Right now?

Waves

Not everything is going to be

Perfect and complete

It will be up

And it will be down. Most times to 

Difficult to tell which. My dad 

Told me, "your life isn't going to

Be a straight

Line."

So my question is what will it be? If it's not a line

It must be a wave.

Toppling and crashing 

Peaking and falling. 

In a way that 

Is beautiful and terrifying. 

I will never forget times of sadness and 

Joy. 

Sitting on my back next

To my dad looking into his eyes and tossing the ball.

Ever rotating upward

And falling back down.

He lay there with me and I with him

Back and forth 

Hours at a time

Until we both heard the silent call

To shut our eyes and sleep.

He next to me, and I next to him

These same eyes I have looked

Petrified

Of addmitting

Defeat

To them

To admit 

shortcoming

To them.

The same eyes I have seen passion And love Achievement And success. Because, in those eyes I have seen who I want to be and how I want to see. 

My wave will come, it is 

Up to me how I will ride it.

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here

Tonight I'm sleeping with the light on.
I know why and you don't.
The pictures on my walls keep me awake.
Not because they prevent me from sleeping.
But because they prevent sleeping from me.
I lie here with motivation on my ceiling and regret on my floor.
There is no middle ground on my light switch.
It is either light or dark.
I think it's time for a dimmer.
I open and shut my own door,.
I climb into bed and realize I was already there .
I didn't brush my teeth or wash my face.
There is always tomorrow.

"Abandon hope, hope all ye who enter here."

I think I missed the sign.
