unfamiliar places
getting the last word in just before the buzzer
some imaginary score board in my head
small victories
then those who freely give u the victory
take away the game
the score baord fades a little
the numbers dim
the totals merge
and u r involved in a new game now
a game where people take on ownership
not of scoreboards
or last words
but of each other
to lose that something that makes u human
to have that given to u
handed to u freely
as a gift
a package to unwrap slowly
to savor the contents
that u never worked for
and to wonder why u r deserving
to hold some small thing in your hand...
a trinket
but one u wished for and wanted
and to see that it was handed to u freely
and to wonder why
and to realize that u are winning the battles
and losing the war
but some wars... some wars you want to lose.

The Days in the Life of a USC Undergrad.
About Me
- Name: Ashlyn
- Location: Varnville, South Carolina, United States
I am your average 26 year old retard who desperately believes that deep down, there is good in all people. I am trying to find my place in this world... and I have no idea if I am even close. My goal is to be happy - and I am getting there - slowly, but surely.... I think.
