I am the second child

I come at the end of a high flying career
I come when we have to leave
I leave where I grew up and go back to where is was born
I take a long road trip Cali to VA
I’m new to this and I’m scared
I have my best friend but then he leaves
Horizon shows me new friends
Seneca show me my best friends
Boy Scouts Lacrosse and School
Me and my friends inseparable
Separated
New friends understand
New friends like what I like
Then comes high school
Classes’ grades drama
New friends are there
Old friends are there
Old friends welcoming
Friendship restored
I go to Northern Tier
A week canoeing in Canada
Myself and six guys
Drove our girl guide insane
Things going great
Then……
My mom’s dad is gone
My cousin in the hospital
Got himself in stabbed
Idiot….
Don’t know how to handle it
Lacrosse and grades suffer
No confidence left
One person I didn’t think was a friend
Helps me in a way I can’t thank them enough for
Life moves on in a happy direction
Yet again…
Nothing good
My father’s grandma dies
I’m not sad
I’m angry
At my relatives being selfish
Not understanding
They aren’t the only ones
Life moves on
I know not to let my grades drop
I can handle it
Sister graduates
Comes home
Great times
Wrecks my car….
Well….
At least I’ll get one better than her car.
Starting junior year
AP classes whatever
All honors who cares
Chorus…..
I hope my mom’s praise wasn’t fake
I come from a place of love a place where I am understood I live where problems are taken care of as a family.
I live in a happy place
My dad a pilot my mom is a mom my sister is attending grad school
I get I have shoes to fill
But those are shoes I’m willing to walk in
