Yesterday….
The most unusual day.
Early morning, sun rising, snow falling.
It was so quiet, so unexpected
I call out to the world, hoping some one will answer.
Another disappointing morning.
Driving to work, I turn the music loud.
I can barely hear the words, with the anxiety of the day.
Will they like me? Do they talk about me?
Questions, which I don’t really want, answered.
I step inside the building, holding back the tears.
I look to the boy, who will never know I exist...
The one who looks beyond me, to the blonde on my right.
The teacher begins to talk, I barely listen.
To busy having thoughts of him
I hear the class rise; I think it must be time to go.
The boy I long to be with walks in my direction
I look behind me, no one is there.
My heart skips a beat as I think, is he coming to talk to me?
He says, hello in such a sexy voice I almost forget to speak back
He tells me, he thinks I am the most beautiful woman in the world.
I look into his blue eyes, and wonder why today.
Suddenly I hear bells chiming.
I wonder where it’s coming from
I wake up, and look around my bedroom...
I began to cry
What a cruel dream.
I began to hope tomorrow will be better…
For yesterday, was just another trick to my heart.

All these yesterdays after a while seem alike, until you find that one that answers back and life goes on happily ever after. Tough being a teen.

...the only consolation, I find, about getting older is that I'll never have to live with teenage angst again. You really made the tension palpable- asleep or awake!
