Throwback Thursday: Poetry Which is Hilariously Emo in Retrospect

Written June 19, 2007. OMG 19-year-old Rachael, who hurt you.

-i try not to get depressed
and not to get sad
and not to give up hope-

i hope that i made a difference
and that it wasn't all bad

i hope that some time we shared
is uncolored by me
and still black and white and 
good

i hope you remember me
and smile
even if it's bittersweet

i hope you think of me
and think of something good
even if you hate me now

i hope that someday
you and i can start over again
and be the friends
we should have been
before i
messed it
up

but most of all
i hope that you are happy with your life
no matter what or if i'm ever in it again

i hope that you stay hopeful
and don't give up on anything
because of me

i hope that you grow old
and joyful and still stay
childlike and innocent

i hope that you make a difference
painted in bright colors and brilliant lights
and that every part of it is good

and i kindof
hope that you
forget completely
about me someday

because i wish that i could
forget about me
completely
too.
