Wondering was he really here?

I haven't updated this since Winter Break. I did really well last semester: 3 As, an A-, and one B. Overall a 3.7 gpa. I'm happy about it. Hopefully this semester will be a good one as well. These are the classes I'm taking now:
-Gender Studies
-Energy & Society
-Poetry
-Crime & Violence
-Lit. Theory

Good News! I won again this year for the poetry contest in Amoskeag. My poem that won is called "My Lost Shoe". Here it is:

And in all the world I left you here,

Trapped forever in my rusty heart.

Why did I not bury you

In one of those old pyramids-

Circular, twisting, never ending

Maze of ancient dead?

Perhaps then I would lose you,

For good, forever.

But no, I chose your prison

Instead inside my soul.

So now I’m left running,

Shouting, hunting,

Trying so hard to rip you out.

Throw you on the streets.

Could I walk away?

No. I’d probably go back-

Like I always do-

Retrieving my lost shoe.

Well I don't really have much else going on in my life. Still workin at the cafe, which is suuuper fun. I'll write another one of these things when I actually have something cool to say :p
