to myself; learning
I’m not really sure how to start here
So I guess I’ll start with something like
Hi
My name is Jaime
and sometimes when I smile I feel as if my heart might might leap out of my chest and my feet might fly away
sometimes I feel as if my dreams are too big for the sky to swallow
and when i wish on a penny in a fountain i secretly think it might come true
i believe in miracles
and sometimes when I laugh, I snort
but i guess that's okay
I want to travel everywhere because There’s no place I don’t wanna be, other than where I am
And I guess that makes me a restless spirit
or maybe it just means i feel a need to run away
But i guess I’m okay with that
If I could change my name to anything it would be to Emma, because I remember in 7th grade, I was always jealous of emma.
I remember noticing for the first time that everybody’s body was different, and I wanted hers
and i have learned that a magic trick is not so magical after all
an abracadabra cannot make someone want to get out of bed
and presto can't make it all go away
and fear is something that is created within our own heads, and fabricated into our reality
but maybe we can make it go away if we really try
maybe we can try a little harder to make it all better
i'm not afraid of falling
but instead i'm afraid of whats going to happen the very moment my body hits the ground
i'm not broken
but i've been bruised
and i still like heights anyways
my greatest wish was always to be somebody else other than myself
now my only wish is to be okay with myself
and i'm getting there
and sometimes when i talk about myself i get nervous
and sometimes when i write i tremble
so sometimes i write in the form of poetry
my name is jaime
im 18 years old
and im not really sure how to end here
so i guess i’ll end with something like
my name is jaime
and im still learning
