every writer dreams of being famous, and i don't plan to achieve it
I just want to enjoy writing and maybe, just MAYBE, I'll have a chance to have something published.
A book of short stories, probably. I can't concentrate on anything over 20 pages for long. Hee. Anyway, I was thinking of maybe starting a book of poetry. It could be fun.
I know I'm not much good at poetry (po'try! [inside joke.]) but here's a small sample of something I wrote when I was bored.
changes
i. cinderella
The stories made you think
that if you just wore the dress,
donned pearls and a purse
and became beautiful,
life would suddenly work out.
You went from skinned knees to "mascara, please."
You went from ponytails to plum passion lip gloss.
I watch you change,
a metamorphosis from the little girl I knew
to a gorgeous monster.
Sugar and spice and everything nice,
plastic and jewels and everything cool.
I miss the child I know you could be.
ii. girl
wonder why we were
friends, in the first place
you were amazing for a few minutes
okay, a few years.
you're just a beautiful liar
no wait. that's me.
iii. self
i look in the mirror and look nothing like my reflection. i wonder why that is if maybe the people around me change but i change too i am an everchanging being it's called HUMANITY.
