...i was thinking today...

walking to the station...

from being late at school

i was thinking

as i always do...

getting lost in myself...

thinking about what i have become...

and how i dont like this persona i wear...

and as you look behind it...

you will see this little girl...

that is the real me...

she yells and screams as i try to hide her...

my shadow as you may call her...

the part i want no one to see...

i got on the subway

put my backpack down on the floor

and sat ontop of it (because there were no seats)

i thought about you,me,her, and him...

i know what its like...

i still think about him...

it was only 7 years ago almost...

and i still grieve...

i just saw him...

had class and everything...

turned around and he was on the ground...

he stopped breathing...

i was told to go home...

the phone rang...

"Caitlin hes dead..."

"are you joking me?"

"no its on the news"

i didn't watch the news...

i was going to see him tomorrow

and tell him about what happened...

and how it was so funny...

i played video games and listened to blink 182...

i feel like it was just yesterday it all happened...

for three days i didn't see him...

but he was still alive...

i did what they told me to do...

untill i saw him...

i knew he wasnt coming back...

i still think about it...

but i was on the rt today...

going home...

and i looked at myself...

and i wondered who i was...

as she yelled at me...

to just let it out...

i shook my head no...

and didnt know who i was anymore...

i've been lost for so long now...

and i thought of you...

and i was still lost...

i got off the rt...

and waited for the bus...

as she begged to be free...

i don't want to let her out...
