Twinkies


Maybe you’re wondering why? I didn't choose it cause it’s my favorite or cause I wanted a good grade. its just that it brings back memories. Sitting in a bronco, dark blue car, music blasting in the back, driver is drunk but before it all happens we're riding in the back everything’s fine, The person I dream of is getting out of the seat. I sit and wonder what is it he needs? I hear a stomach rumble like a thunderstorm, and giggling about something that he’s found. If you could take a guess what would it be? Well it was nothing but a worthless Twinkie. To be honest I don’t even like them but the way he was eating it made it look like it was the best food, never seen no one eat Twinkies with such passion. I started laughing as my mouth got watery. I didn't even taste it, I tried to stop staring. But ohhh did that Twinkie sure look delicious. Racing through the fields of grass, sneaking out at night so we could spend some time, going to the river where we saw that bear from the Pepsi commercial, the man singing with an ugly voice don’t you remember it was dedicated? Coming to my house, dang won't you always hungry? having you jump on me while watching the scary movie, holding my hand as we walked back, midnight having your homie take me back home, now we're back to where I started trying to see how fast he can make it to the other town, my heart is pounding I’m going scared don’t know what’s going to happen or if I'll make it home, you told me to put my seat belt on as well as you did too, my hand was being held tight, I knew that you were scared too, you kept screaming slow down and asking to please just take me home safe and that on your guys way back they can speed all they want, lucky us got stopped by a cop, I admit I was thankful otherwise I wouldn't be here right now. Dumb kid in front with the driver is laughing cause he’s just too wasted, promising he won’t tell my daddy and checking if the computer was fine I didn't even know what he was talking about but it sure cracked me up. As I walk back home I’m thinking of what would have happened if we hadn't been stopped. Now that’s not all but I just cant keep going on, So when I walked in Safeway and saw those Twinkies I laughed, had those memories rewind in my brain. Ohhh them Twinkies just bring back so many memories.

My names Areli, i enjoy writing poetry for fun. i recently started adding my poetry on here. I'm not the kind of person that like to share stuff like this, it gets personal at times. I honestly don't know why i decided to get my poems on here, i guess i just want some feedback. I'm only 17 and i hope i get a career where i can do what i love to do. Maybe even write a book.
