Being on top of the world
I’ve been to the same camping site multiple times.
In a year
I want to go back
to where the sky is a blinding blue,
and it smells fresh
as if it had just rained.
I don't want to go anymore
Because I’m the stain on the shirt.
And social status still exists
Like putting the queen card on your head.
The food is great
But the people make it bitter
It gives me a familiar taste of
When I bite into an apple
And spit out the sourness
The taste stays in my mouth
If I ever go back
I’ll be a different person
And I’ll have a queen card on my head
So no one will look at me from above a tall cliff
That I’m just latching onto

I wrote this piece thinking about this camping site I went to when I was little. I remember being the race that was a minority and I guess sometimes felt stared at as if I was not welcome. Even though I didn't really fit in I still really enjoyed going there because there was a lot to do. I'd really like to go back one day.
