I was proud of myself when I figured out how to draw bricks. stacked in their usual order. predictable.
they were always there watching. stacked uniformly. doing their job and pretending not to mind when they were the first brick to be laid.
carrying the weight of your school
your home
your heart
but humans dont seem to be that way.
distant fathers miss soccer games
& simply being okay
when nothing is okay
goes unnoticed
predictable.
offense burns through four downs
& defense lets a touchdown slip past
& I hit a brick wall
& the final score is all anyone talks about in the end.
what's your GPA? ACT? College?
how many boys have you kissed?
how many boys haven't you kissed?
& in the end I'm the first brick to be laid:
forgotten
forgotten
& pretending not to mind
but man, do i mind.
Where do you get all these great pics? #Quality
