Careful

The waves jumped threateningly below her. A warning. Yet they looked so inviting. Kristin stepped up onto the thin railing carefully. How ironic that now she was being careful. Why couldn't she have thought to do that yesterday? Brad would still be alive. She sighed, looked down at the violent crashing, took a deep breath.

For Him

Not a day passes that I don’t

dread

seeing you. I

don’t

look forward to talking to you. It

infuriates

me, just thinking about the things you say. You are

disrespectful. You are

unfair. You are

biased.

“Did everyone see how Katie just did?

That’s how you

lose.”

Tears well in my closed eyes,

blocking out the rest of your

hurtful

speech. “That’s what happens when you

don’t practice hard enough.”

Standing up, leaving the room.

Finished with this.

Who cares if I’m not as dedicated? I

don’t

want to spend time with you.

No one

agrees with you anyways. I’m not

bitter,

I’m just standing up for myself.

I triumph, you

don’t

acknowledge it. I

deserve the gratification, don’t I? I work

So Hard, yet you

ignore

my success, highlight my

weaknesses.

You are the Worst Coach Ever.

Warmup 3-16-09

#105. Stop what you are doing and listen for one minute. Write the thoughts you had during this time.

"Go! Think! Quick!"
Stop talking, Alex.
I need to finish my book for English.
Why is Alex still talking to me?
"...are you satisfied with how it is?"
I think I only hear what other people are saying if I'm not focusing.
Why didn't I type it?
I don't know, Garrett.
