If You Really Knew Me

I was born December 2nd 1997 on a Tuesday
and I still consider myself a 90's kid
I remember VCR's and Nickelodeon Wonder balls 
                                           


I weigh 135lbs
133 on my sisters scale though
135lbs of sweaty palms and insecurity about my writing

I'm still learning the Lone Peak Fight Song and Dance
even though I am a senior
stomp clap stomp stomp clap stomp clap stomp stomp clap clap
that's all I got I think

I'm often taking naps in various spots in my house

but never my bed

I've never been to South America
and quite frankly, I never want to

Hello, I'm Hannah. 2 H's 2 A's 2 N's
Yes I know it's pretty
Yes I know it's common
and yes, I KNOW it's a palindrome

I wait all year for the Count Chocula cereal
I'm still snacking on a box I've stashed away

I still have my sweater from 4th grade
because I can't bring myself to throw anything away
ever

However if you really knew me
you'd know I hate my name
I cringe at the sound of it sorry all the Hannah's in the world

You'd know I'm jealous of my sisters
the oldest was born on Halloween so her name is Holly Wenday (Halloween Day)

the other was due on Christmas so her name is Merissa Christine (Merry Christmas)

my parents were going to name me Hannah Kaye (Hanukkah)

but decided not to

So now I'm just me
Hannah Marie

and it is very nice to meet you again

Paris Syndrome

Paris
wasn't what I expected


Noter Dame
was smaller than Disney made me imagine


Locals
intimidated me

The
Crepes
weren't as sweet as I dreamed they'd be


The
Eiffel Tower
wasn't even there


Well... at least not the real one,
the small one from Las Vegas stood in it's place

But that just wasn't the same 

I realized I hadn't actually landed in Paris yet
just had a 2 day layover in Vegas

or I fell asleep on the plane

But I just got on my flight now
I have my fingers crossed I land in Paris soon

You asked me what I was thinking, but didn’t understand my reply

I’m thinking about everything and nothing at all.

I’m thinking about how the wind asks the trees to waltz while the moon plays a melody that makes the flowers cry.


I’m thinking about how lonely it feel if I could be the stars for a day.

I’m thinking about how gracious and humble the sun is. Giving light and warmth to all those it touches, asking nothing in return.

I’m thinking about how the sun doesn’t let anyone near it in fear of hurting them.

I’m thinking about the secrets mountains tell each other while we all are sleeping.

I’m thinking about that one ant who thinks he’s an elephant and elephant who thinks he’s a ladybug.



I’m thinking about the doves who think they’re dodos and the penguins who dream of flying.


I’m thinking about the old swing set in my back yard never being touched for years and how sad it must’ve been when the first contact it had with people since then was my dad tearing it down.

I’m thinking about how roads spend their days staring up in the sky longing to be clouds so they can see the world too.

I’m thinking about the clouds who’d give anything to be a road to stay in one place instead of never really having a home.

I’m thinking about everything.
I’m thinking about nothing.

Things That I Rememer

I remember my first day of high school.
-It was scary and the halls were too crowded. 

I remember not knowing where to go for lunch until I saw Mason. 
-He helped me navigate through the crowds and ate with me. It was nice. 

I remember going to Nelson's class for the first time. 
-Jesse was in the class so I sat next to him. 

I remember doing my first ever writing prompt. 
-First impressions. 

I remember Nelson showed us his example. 
-He wrote that he had siblings of kids he taught before and mentioned my sister Holly and her double dutch skills.

I remember getting my worst grade ever. 
-It was a D+ in biology. 

I remember thinking that I disqualified for the Regents Scholarship 
-I knew from then on I wouldn't take physics or chemistry because what was the point? 

I rememember my first spirit bowl. 
-I covered my face in maroon paint. My team won. Mighty Maroon pride. 

I remember wondering if teachers ever thought of students and their lives at home. 
-I wondered if any of them would even care about what I had going on. Turns out they do.  

I remember my first high school boyfriend.
-It lasted less than a month. 

I remember sitting in 700 hall for lunch the first time. 
-I still do. 

I remember looking forward to graduating for so many years. 
-But I'm not ready for it to end yet.
