Gotta Move On

November 2003

I’m constantly thinking about the past
When I should be over it and head to the future
Crying over something that happened months ago
When I should be dealing with the present instead

[Chorus:]
Cause I gotta move on
I’m brave and I’m strong
I was brave in the past
Why can’t I be now
I don’t want to be a girl
Who lives in the past
I want to be a girl
Who lives in the present

I’m never thinking straight
I’m always falling behind
I better keep my grip
Before I fall back down that cliff

[Chorus:]
Cause I gotta move on
I’m brave and I’m strong
I was brave in the past
Why can’t I be now
I don’t want to be a girl
Who lives in the past
I want to be a girl
Who lives in the present

I’ve gotta move on

Best Friends Forever

2003 (5th Grade)

We are best friends forever
Even though sometimes you make me glad
And sometimes you make me really sad
I know you didn’t mean what you said
But you weren’t thinking ahead
To what would happen to me
Can’t you see?
You made me really sad
Will I ever be glad?
I look around
I hear the sound
“I’m sorry,
Best friends forever?”

Note: This month I’m dedicating to sharing many of my earliest poems and songs from elementary and middle school, which I previously overlooked. Despite not being my best work, they laid the foundation for the writer I’ve become. It’s important for me to acknowledge this part of my history and its role in shaping my journey as a writer.

I Was Asleep

Do I have anything new to say
I guess that I don’t know
My dream last night
Was hard to let go
Realization in the middle
That things were not real
When it’s what I want
But I need to heal
Did I go along with it
The details are fading
I want to remember
These thoughts are invading
But I know I won’t recover
Until I walk away
Even in my dreams
I can’t let you stay
