My Honest Poem

December 8, 2020
By Anonymous

I was born on November 22, that makes me a Sagittarius.

That means I am impatient and constantly surrounded by my friends.

I am 5 foot 4. I wear a size 8.5 in men’s shoes.

I don’t understand gravity or how glue doesn’t stick to the inside of a bottle.

I’m still learning how to walk.

I’m usually falling when I shouldn’t be, and stable when you’d expect me to fall.

I like pumpkins way more than I should.

I’ve been told people love my laugh. 

I find it loud and obnoxious, but it’s funny.

Sometimes I have social anxiety, but I keep it to myself.

I have an obsession with pictures and memories.

Probably because I like to remember how I was feeling in those moments.

I’m a little boy crazy, but only towards the weird ones.

That concerns me.

I like to take chances, because if I die tomorrow, I want to go out with a bang.

I have two extreme fears. 

The first being I won’t go to Heaven. The second being butterflies.

Or any other insect with the traits of one. 

I’ve always wondered if stuffed animals talk when I leave the room.

Or if the devil listens to my prayers.

I’m really hard on myself, but mostly in sports.

Because I know I can do better.

Sometimes my imagination scares me. 

Like what if life is just a dream.

Hi, I’m Brooke.

I hate being called Brookie because of the sharp “K,” 

But everyone says it so I stay quiet.

I love bananas, laughing at my own jokes, and when my socks match.

I cry too much but then look back and giggle because it wasn’t worth it.

My favorite color is pink.

But I don’t like to disclude any, so I like them all.

I have a little confidence.

I like how my eyes look in the sun.

My hobbies include going to Target and running away from butterflies.

I like to make up new words,

Because it keeps life spontaneous.

And I will always underestimate the abilities I have just because of the fear of failure.
