Allow me to break the monotony of silence.
I was told to write in larger sentences in order to orchestrate a new rhythm.
I don't quite appreciate it.
I'm a small sentence kind of person.
Allow me to break the monotony of silence further.
I'm a junior in a senior class. Most of you would not even guess,
as you are to focused on yourself.
As I share a quiet piece with myself, I allow my mind to wonder about the workings of your infrastructure.
So what, I am smaller than you.
You would not even know.
I'm a small sentence kind of person.
I'm a small expression kind of person.
I'm just small.
Insignificant.

As you all socialize, I continue to watch.
To listen.
I dissect your identity, your insecurities, your whole being.
Maybe I'm small.
So here is a big sentence for all of you, so that I can be a big person again, so that maybe someone will notice my voice, so that I can please you, so that maybe I can conform to your big sentence society, (even though I don't want to) I will be a robot just for all of you, even though I pledged not to be.
I'm small.
Just trying to be big.
Maybe I'm small.
But you wouldn't notice.
this is so freaking amazing!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely just...brilliant.

-from another small, insignificant being.
I noticed.
ReplyDeleteAnd call me crazy, but I think that long sentence was dope. I felt something while I was trapped in that long sentence. You had me by the throat and there was no FULL STOP in sight. I could feel your anger, your frustration, a hint of sarcasm, and it was all good. I loved it.
Keep it up.
I agree with Nels...you've definitely been noticed.
DeleteOkay I keep trying to comment, and it hasn't been letting me. But just know that I've been loving this post for a while.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you must be one dope junior.
I'm not saying that lightly.
PS This was so good.
A+ this is so good.
