alive

I'm not sure how to feel alive, or how to put it into words so I asked my friends, what makes "you feel 'alive'?"
these are the responses I got:

a "poem" for you

a "poem" for you.  7-9-15

on my journal's front page
it says, "express what's in
your heart." it's from a Dove
chocolate. it's raining outside
my window, and inside my
brain. you are my bed sheets
and you are the pen that's
writing this. you are
100 sheets of blank paper
and you are the drawing
on my wall.
I know this is pathetic
because, 1. on the back of a
DI receipt and 2. I
can't write well. 3. you
                                don't
                                love
                                  me
            I love you
      love,

crans

imagination

gets
smaller
with
age


crayons
get
smaller
with
use



The only "fist fight" I've gotten in was with a boy named Casey in kindergarten, over crayons.

I can't remember the context before the fight, but I remember him pulling my hair, and me punching the boy, twice my size, in the stomach.  Of course we got in trouble and had to talk to the principal.
I don't like hurting people, and I don't like using crayons. 




dear Casey and 5 year old self, 


I'm sorry for growing up
I don't know why we do,
and I can't help it. 
I wrote down some things you shouldn't forget, maybe it'll make up for it:

•don't forget to give mom hugs and to spend time with dad
•don't feel bad that your birthday is in the summer, celebrating birthdays is over rated
•brush your teeth
•find what you love to do
•tell girls they're pretty
•read more books
•love yourself
•pay attention in school
