The air was still as if it were holding its breathe waiting for me as I approached the ledge. I could feel myself pushing back tears as I clutched the fragile locket in my hands; I traced its dainty designs with my finger. "So mom and dad are getting the divorce after all. I guess you were right E. I don't know why I ever doubted you about that one I mean it was obvious! I guess I tried to block it out like what happened......" I muttered looking up at the milky white moon. It seemed to look down at me with sympathetic beams of light. My hands gripped the marble ledge tighter. "Eliza it's been so hard not seeing you. Seeing your bright blue eyes and the way you would always play with your hair when you were sad and the way you could make up a story to make me feel better! I miss you Eliza I-I need you back! Why did you have to leave?" I screamed at the sky.
The stars seemed to loose there brightness as I sat there and sobbed. My hair flew into my face as the wind blew harder and clouds rolled in. But I didn't care I just sat there still in the clothes I wore to the funeral and sobbed. Even as the rain poured I sat there looking at the only thing I had left of her; her picture in my locket and the BFF bracelet she made me. I clutched them tightly thinking about her when suddenley I heard footsteps. I looked up to see about my age peering at me with an umbrella extended out for me.
"What are you doing out here in the rain? And well who are you?" He said as he sat down across from me with a blue umbrella covering him from the rain that was now coming down by the buckets. "I heard somebody crying out here so I just wanted to see what is the matter."
"My name is Annastasia Levito. And I'm here trying to escape my life!" I replied "What happened that made you so upset that you're in out in the rain without an umbrella?" I sighed and took a deep breath. "My friend she-she jumped off a bridge a couple days ago so she could kill herself. And ummm this was her fifth attempt I had to talk her out of all the rest but you know she was a fiesty one. I mean she was my best friend! She was the only person who understood me and now she's dead! And the way I found out was I got a text from her before she jumped saying 'this is the end goodbye' So that's why. Not to mention my parents are getting a divorce tomorrow and my friend funeral is today! I said burrying my face in my lap.
I cried and without warning the boy scooted next to me and put his arm around my shoulder. "I see and so you ran away because things were getting rough huh?" I sighed "Yeah I mean between my parents yelling, my sister being a brat, and seeing my friend lying in a casket I couldn't take it! And when I tried to say a few last words her parents didn't even care in fact they didn't even show up! She deserved a better life and a better family! I mean both of our lifes weren't perfect but she deserved one more than me" I sobbed as I looked up at the moon. The boy looked me in the eyes "I see. You must've really cared for her then didn't you?"
Looking up I saw that the storm was letting up. "I'm Matt b the way come on let's go inside I'll get you something warm to wear and something to eat ok?"
"Ok." I replied taking his hand as he leaded me inside.

Remembering is just an invention of the mind,
So you need not try to remember something,
You remember it automatically.
Which is the best thing that you could have.
The good times that we had...
It is placed in a portion of your mind.
The bad times that we had...
It is placed in the other part of your mind.
You try to forget all of the bad things that happened,
But it is not possible.
It is stuck in you.
The bad things are painted in ink on your heart.
The good things, you try to remember.
And they stay.
They never go.
Never leave you.
Remembering is just an invention of the mind.
And, well...I guess I'm happy for that.
So I can remember every friend I've had,
Every boyfriend,
And all the good times.
Every memory will never leave my heart.
They will never be forsaken.
Never.

*Poem I wrote for a class project on the holocaust.
DON'T COPY*
Different in ways they couldn't control
Killed for reasons we do not know
Ranging from ages young to old
The innocent people were taken from homes
Soulless people did not care
That the Jewish were in despair
Concentration camps ending their screams
Breaking apart their families
Not once did they do anything wrong
They opened their mouths and sang a sad song
Years went by and more pain came
Until on one very special day
As one we all saved
The survivors of the Holocaust

Me and Those
Ever noticed that in this life
Everyone wants you to do something,
Or be something
That sometimes you don’t want to be?
They are those!
You know them!
You probably have those in your house.
They are those who expect you to take a path,
Even though,
Sometimes,
You don’t want to take.
They are those who expect you to be great,
Even though,
Sometimes,
You prefer to be small and humble.
But do you think,
For the slightest second,
That they care about that?
They don’t!
They are your parents,
Your grandparents,
Your Uncles and aunts,
That since you were born,
Came up with a path for you in life.
But know this,
And say it to yourself:
They are those, they matter,
But me is I,
And I’m the main character.
Sitting right where you are
You have no claim on me
I know my own path
I am my own guide
You are nothing to me
No matter how you try
What do you care?
If I'm not doing it right
I'm not following you
I know my own path
I am my own guide
You don't know me
No matter how you try
Why are you here?
You know I don't want you
I told you to leave me
I am my own path
I know my own guide
You can't mold me
No matter how you try
Why do I feel compelled to write angsty poetry? I swear I'm not even that angsty. lol Oh well, I hope someone out there enjoys it.
