One. Two. Three.

Threes

Always threes

Said Three times

Not two,

Not Four,

But three.

Severe OCD

That's what they call it.

Normal Life.

That's what I call it. 

I can't win.

I know that.

But all I do can't be for naught.

I want to make my mark.

So I'll put my threes to use.

Make a lightbulb explode

And then

Then, then maybe I'll be noticed, remembered, recorded

Forever in history

As the girl

Who needed only to count to three

Three, three

To be in history

History, History...

I am a poetry writer for about a year now and in that time my diction and rhythm have developed ALOT. I spin for my school's color guard and am part of my school's academic decathlon team. anyone can ask me questions about anything i post and i'll do my best to answer them:)
