Sweden*'s Favorite Quotes



 
 
Fragments From a Junior's Thoughts

Today, I heard the phrase "it looks good on college applications" 11 times

Teachers tell me they are preparing me for the "real world" as if the first 18 years are a free trial

Getting an education turned out to be a competition I never agreed to enter

I used to think in weekdays and now I think in test dates

Nothing is heavier than this backpack except maybe my eyelids

I'm losing sleep, losing weight, losing my mind

I'm so lost

Even as I write this poem I know nothing I say matters unless it's typed in Times New Roman 12pt font

When people say beautiful I think of you, when people say sweet I think of you, when people say cute I think of you, when people say smart I think of you, when people say love I think of you.

You forget a thousand things a day. But the time I spend with you is never one of them.

My heart is racing faster then a jet,
My mind is more focused then the best camera ever,
My body shaking like a earthquake,
My nervous system is streached like a harp,
My ears are listening to every word,
My eyes only see beuty,
My mucles are weaker but my heart is stronger,
My mind is calm but my body is nervous,
My life is now complete

A amazing couple is a couple who can joke with each other and pick on each other and still care for each other more the ever at the end of every day

Death.

I didn't want to see them,
go to the train stop called
death, leaving me alone.
"This life stop is normal,"

Is it? Because it terrifies me.

death
So what about the baby
Her small disfigured back
And all because her mother
Had smoked a little crack

And what about the baby
Who's laughter slowly fades
Who for the sins of others
Was sadly born with AIDS

And what about the young girl
That suffered such abuse
From someone in the family
There's simply no excuse

And what about the child
Who never had a dad
His therapist can't figure
Why he is always mad

And what about the housewife
Unloved and cheated on
All sense of worth or purpose
Has long been, long been gone

And what about the victims
Of hatefulness and crimes
Who never did recover
But suffer all the time

And what about the starving
There are around the Earth
Who've suffered destitution
Forever since their birth

It's such a simple answer
To just say
"Life's not fair"

poem






My friends and I started the first day of kindergarten
with sweaty palms and runs in our tights
and Dillon got bashful when he saw me get on the bus
and hid his head in the seat.
And Michelle and I played dress up for hours in her mother's closet
talking about what it would be like to act like
the big kids.

My friends and I started the first day of middle school
with sweaty palms and new jeans
and Dillon and I kissed under the jungle gym last year
but he liked another girl more than me.
And Michelle kissed all of her big brother's friends
and tried to be just like
the big kids.

My friends and I started the first day of high school
with sweaty palms and big text books
and Dillon has been dating Hannah for two months
and gives me look in the hallway.
And it seems like Michelle has been trying to play dress up in her
mother's closet again
and all the boys look at her and she loves it
and it seems like no one will take you seriously unless
you're a big kid.

My friends and I said goodbye on the last day of Senior Year
with fond memories and our graduation caps
and Dillon took his own life last year
because Hannah forgot they were dating for a night.
And Michelle stays home mostly now
because her baby needs her more than she needs her degree
and it scares me now
because we are
the big kids.
