Sophia Silva<\/em><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

I kissed a boy under the table in kindergarten, someone told on us and we got sent to the<\/p>\n

Principal\u2019s<\/p>\n

I failed a grammar test, and vowed to never get a bad grade again<\/p>\n

Running around the field, we pretended seeds were weapons and waged savage wars<\/p>\n

Falling onto the pavement during kickball filled me with pride<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t wear jeans unless a special occasion, the material feeling wrong on my skin<\/p>\n

I got contacts and felt seen for the first time<\/p>\n

I started writing fan fiction with my friends, bugging them to update<\/p>\n

Playing tag in the hallways, avoiding one\u2019s touch and teacher\u2019s punishment<\/p>\n

A track prodigy taken under the wing of the Thompson twins, bound for fame<\/p>\n

Something had to give in order to stay afloat, I dropped gymnastics off at an island and sailed<\/p>\n

away<\/p>\n

Crying during physics became the norm, but afterwards I got to eat lunch so it was okay<\/p>\n

I wrote and read a speech in front of my graduating class, receiving many compliments and pats on the back from faculty and parents<\/p>\n

I fell in love, then off the face of the earth, disappearing into romantic chaos<\/p>\n

I resurfaced years later, crawling out of the grave I dug myself, shaking with shame<\/p>\n

Continuing to crash and burn, I feel like Icarus<\/p>\n

Dreaming of the future, remembering the past, I try to piece together a coherent present okay<\/p>\n

enough to reside in<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
