7th grade doubt



I'm still full of 

7th grade doubt, 

the way she 

looked at me 

and then looked away 


from that point forward

I never felt that I ever

had a chance.


years blink by,

mistakes clink together

like empty bottles

thrown into the

recycling bin.


that doubt still follows me

no matter how fast I run, 

no matter how far I go

and no matter the pace


and I'm still shy below

the bluest of skies 

in the yellowest of suns


the way she looked that

very day...
