I remember running
My heart beating fast
looks like 5,000 people
looking at me
When I messed up
The coach looked at me
she’s upset
I just want to leave!
In school
We played soccer
I was chosen as Goal Keeper
The match started
I knew I wan’t good
When they shot at the goal
I saved it
then saved another
and they didn’t goal
because of me.
Parents everywhere
Cheering for their children
Coaches yelling
DON’T DROP THE BATON!
Yo recuredo

Winter snow is starting
When the cool breaks through the dead
trees and everything begins to chill and the
first of many falls and meets the pavement
as many more come down
All you hear is doors opening
then slam. I’m looking at the
floor waiting for the door
other kids running yelling come on
The book bags going up ‘n’ down
The stair getting shorter and shorter
by the second com on slam come on
At recess
We Play
tag
children running
And yelling
But at the end
someone touches you
and says
tag.
I remember
I was talkin’ to Ms. P.
about Mexican food.
And she was saying
She is a picky
easter. I was telling
her about
some snacks
I’m amazed
hearing people
laugh, and
scream
Seeing people
having fun.
Seeing water slides.
I saw my family
having fun
being cold
and seeing
lifeguards
yelling at us
to not pick
each other up
I remember
it was a very
hot day
Everyone telling me
Happy Birthday
The cake melting
because it was
so hot
My favorite music
Playing
Then they all sing
Happy Birthday
In October
We took
our high school
exams
to see
where we go
People feeling nervous
typing away
tapping their feet
on the wood floors
heads down
glad it’s over
At the school dance
I’d seen kids getting along.
Singing every song played.
dancing in the circle,
recording each other’s
Phones to keep memories.
everyone yelling over
the music how they
Can’t hear me.
