the semester is over and here I am at home again everyone else is the same everyone but me I sit here listening to all that’s been going on yet I feel like I don’t belong not anymore all my friends are the same Marla still loves sex more than she probably should Edith is still a bum trying to get a dollar from me Brittany still dyes her hair that blonde color that looks kind of yucky and Vanessa still doesn’t care about anyone but herself I guess something never will change same old faces same old names what’s wrong with me these people I grew up with I can no longer stand Howie swears he is no longer a boy he says he’s a man it happen last week with some girl three hundred miles away Kaleb is now called daddy we all knew it would eventually happen Jeremiah he still can’t see how much he really means to me Javon oh Javon you still crazy thinking all us ladies fall for that I still live with my momma gag she needs a man around but I pay my own rent you guys will always be the same that I can see something never change the house doesn’t really look the same in fact it looks a little larger maybe it’s just me though I really can’t find anything familiar inside of me even though I try everything seems so similar everything but me my room four white walls covered with pictures of the past same old bed and same clothes in the closet same me with different thoughts in my head father says it will take sometime to adjust but im not sure if I can I sit on my bed holding my pompoms and I wonder was it all worth it all that I did why was it so important now it seems so stupid and foolish I travel down the hallway and I see all the pictures of me when I was a little kid smiling from ear to ear I seemed so happy all dressed up in the picture at the prom graduation is my favorite one though because we were all together I was the only one that left went away to better myself now I can’t help but to wonder will they ever understand they all suffocate me with their hugs and kisses constantly tell me how much I was missed but I don’t know what to say I wish for the summer to end my feet are ready to run and I can’t wait to escape again I know they will never be able to understand
