Trivi, I want to be better than you

June 29, 2018

I saw something that reminded me of you today

I haven't thought about you in a while

When are you coming home?

You should see me

I cut my hair

I've gotten taller

And I became someone new

I replaced the shells in the jar you gave me with pennies

So I would have enough to disappear someday just like you
