Independent #2

I don't know about this peice. I usually write poems, but this one I just had too much to say, so i wrote sort of a memior I guess? Some of it's true, sort of mixed in with some plots from books I've read. It has an anger/relization theme to it, so, enjoy.



____________________________________________




I am so tired. So tired of all this drama. Things that don’t even deserve a second glance in the real world, but seem to be the main events in ours. I am so tired of you turning me down. And then of course when I’m over you, all you do is pay attention to me, but you still can’t let go of the fact that I’m moving on. And that I won’t be here forever. I can’t wait around for you anymore. I don’t want to.

But it’s you I see all the time, and not him. So I know I’m over you. Especially since you have no problem showing the feelings of anger you have towards me. Because, of all the people to move on to, after you, I had to choose your best friend, right? Is it because he is so similar to you? That I don’t really want to let go of you, and what we had together?

No. It’s because he is so different from you. Sure, you may do some things that are the same, but at least he doesn’t take me for granted. At least he knows. He knows what I would do for you. I would come crawling back to you after you shot me down again, my heart crushed because I thought we had something different. I would always forgive you. And you took advantage of that. I know that he doesn’t, he won’t. He respects me, and knows the hurt I went through because of you.

So here it is. I was so blind to you. You wonder how I ever got over you? The question is, how couldn’t I?

sam i love this and you expressed your feelings really well. my favorite line is, "You wonder how I ever got over you? The question is, how couldn’t I?" those words basically describe the meaning of the story. =] love ya

I like this piece a lot Sam, mainly because it's coming from someplace real and because I can connect with it, no problem (boys! *gag*). I always found that when you write from personal expreience your writing has more passion and intensity and thus is better. That is what I see here. You use a lot of your own emotions and pull it out onto the screen but you don't over do it. If anything it's under done but it works here. The only critical part is: "But it’s you I see all the time, and not him. So I know I’m over you." I think you meant 'So I know I'm NOT over you.' Or maybe I'm notunderstanding. Overall, I think it is very well written. Good job!
