I remember being told I couldn’t do it

I remember feeling of the warm salty tears rushing down my face and the fear that consumed me.

I remember not being to handle clay because of the way it felt.

I remember being scrubbing it off of me

I remember feeling confused

I remember coming out

I remember the sweat dripping down my back

I remember her sweet smile

I remember the first time a girl told me she loved me

I remember running away from my problems

I remember the way it felt as I hit the bag and letting the anger that consumed me wash away

I remember driving down the road screaming the lyrics of sweet caroline with my best friend late into the night

I remember the sweet taste of my best friends moms flourless chocolate hitting my taste buds
