I was a 

gift that

arrived two 

days before 

Valentines day.

I learned late that 

you can't count on anyone.

I’ve held a cat in my

hands,

feeling the warmth from 

her fur,

loving her dearly.

Ive heard chatter 

from peers,

not always nice.

I lost my pet, 

burying her in the dirt,

all alone.

I've held the weight 

of other people,

until they wither away,

leaving me, 

alone.

a girl,

Maggie,

hated me,

all for dating a guy.

My friends,

some kept me,

some left me.

Ive had lots 

of great things, 

but i seem to cover those 

with the bad.

I once broke

my foot.

I once went 

skydiving indoors.

Ive driven through,

Wisconsin, Illinois, Canada, New York, Maryland, DC, Alabama, Florida,and everywhere else.

ive been scared 

by people, animals, the dark.

I have never had clean closet,

and it stresses me out.

I have three cats, and a bird.

And i hate big crowds,

more than anything.

Thats me.
