I am Poem


I am athletic, the teenage girl cliché.
I wonder about my future
I hear Nicki Minaj
I see smiles
I want to be volleyball state champs
I am athletic, smart

 
I pretend to like school
I feel everyone is different
I touch the closest to being real, with god.
I worry drama conquers the earth
I cry at death of loved ones
I am athletic, the teenage girl cliché

I understand everything is possible
I say all that matters now, wont in 10 years. Hakuna matata (:
I dream at being successful
I try to understand everyone and anyone
I hope one day, I’ll have NO worries.
I am athletic, the teenage girl cliché

Ever find a song that fits a situation perfectly?

Recently, I lost a friend of mine, Brylee Verser. A lot of people knew her; I played softball with her for a year. She committed suicide about 2 weeks ago.

The song I chose was “why” by Rascall Flatts. This song talks about a person committing suicide, which is obviously one way the song connects to Brylee, but also, the chorus says “Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song.” Nobody close to Brylee really expected her to do anything like that. So I see the connection when it talks about masking a troubled soul.

I think this song fits so well because; it literally hits all the key points of the situation. It talks about the girl playing softball in the song and rounding 3rd base to score the winning run, which Brylee’s favorite sport was softball; she was a pitcher. It talks about her little small town, and early autumn being the time. There’s always a song to fit every situation.
