A Day In The Life

17. Simply Talk

I need to talk. Just simply, talk.

I'm in a happy place right now. Happier than I have been in a long time, since I was a little girl. I've got friends and family who love and care for me, I have a dog of whom I absolutely love to death and a cat who acts like he hates me but secretly loves me just as much as I love him.

Summer vacation has been going pretty good too. Fun in the water, trying to tan but in reality, only burning, looking at the stars with my friends. I've been writing too, and reading and oh how wonderful it is to finally be able to be myself.

I work with my dad sometimes and although it's hard work, I'm spending more time with him than ever before and I'm having a great time. My mom works a lot but she always makes time for my brother and I. She takes us into town where we shop, try new foods, find new things to do, and smile.

This is different than the others, isn't it? I don't know, maybe it seems more real. The others are just as authentic as this one but perhaps, this one could be considered a little memoir instead of a poem. I wrote about me and you know? I feel good about it.
