The Summer Everything Went South


The Summer Everything Went South, Was an interesting year for me I went to the beautiful Florida Keys With the most colorful fish I have ever seen And an ocean clear as crystals I felt as though I had finally found the perfect sunburned paradise Then Wes showed up Wes has been my friend for four years We have been to two separate schools together And have been each other's constant through it all But Wes was NOT the person I wanted to see on my vacation I went on vacay to escape school, And everything the government subsidised hadestown stood for So seeing my School friend when I was trying to escape school wasn't ideal It ended up ok I blew up my social life, with a different friend group *Sadly it got tied back together because the universe likes watching me suffer* And Wes helped me realize it was all for the best So the last summer I went south in more ways than one And I have some of the best memories from it

A young girl chasing a dream that can't be caught, Holding onto hope that is too far gone Losing her mind trying to help others get theirs back Prayers go unanswered no matter what she does It's the life of no one, no one but me
