Memories

Memories.

By: Kia

I remember when I had one day to read a book.

Everything was okay, Just wish I could've;

Found out sooner than today.

Memories start to become faded;

Simply just outdated like an old record.

But when they reappear, it's like a montage;

With a clear glass haze.

I tell myself don’t worry it’s just a faze.

It's scary remembering mistakes;

Things you just don't want to see or face.

Just like remembering meeting your first crush;

How he put your heart in such a rush.

It’s hilarious because in that memory you were: embarrassed because your cheeks were very

flushed.

I remember getting my first F.

I didn’t know how to take it so I just left.

Don’t get me wrong I have happy memories too;

It’s just most of mine didn’t really happen in school.

The memory of me being with my grandma;

It was very pleasant. 

I like the smell of new presents.

That new wonder of thinking “what could it be?”;

Amazing to have something that’s picked just for me.

My eighth birthday was amazing;

One of the times the whole family was together;

Simply a blessing: I remember that’s how I learned to love;

Chocolate cake and started to hate steak.

Some of my greatest memories.

You see, but I started thinking about the; 

The world and all of its diversity is very scary.

One of the dark memories I push to the side.

And now I keep moving forward and advancing.

So I can see everything eye to eye.
