Pause.
Rewind.
Playback.
I remember grass
Cold December night
Swaying trees
The faint whisper of wind
I remember the slamming of the door
Silent cries
Frozen apples
Burning pages
I remember books
Calculators
More books
Locked rooms
I remember apologies
Painful faces
Hurt pride
Shame
I remember stumbling
Getting up
Holding on
I remember living
Forgetting
Moving on
I remember striving
Looking forward
Confidence
I was so young then
I picked myself off the ground
I’m stronger now
I read everything last night.
And now i realise, everything, was nothing
I’ve been through worse
I remember when
I remember how
I just don’t remember you

excellent!!
perfect flow! And you basically described my 8th-10th grade year! Sad to get lost so young. But great to learn your lessons early! Keep striving!
