buying twenty dollar flowers
that you know will die the next day.
working for hours on a one thousand piece jigsaw puzzle,
to find the centermost piece missing.
going to stargaze but
you find nothing but clouds.
spending days working on an important paper,
just so your teacher can glance at it
and assume that it's an A+ paper
because that's what he's used to giving you.
buying a CD you thought would be incredible,
only to find out it sounds like hell.
finding "ten thousand spoons
when all you need is a knife."
feeling the loneliest you've ever been,
despite being the most popular.
spilling fruit punch on your new white shirt.
being told people cry because they miss you,
and it killing you because you cry for the same reason.
driving far distances to
make a surprise visit to someone you love,
and finding out they're not home when you get there.
letting the "card full" sign
go un-noticed on your digital camera,
so it can delete all your savored memories.
accidently pulling the thread
too far on your favorite sweater.
questioning why you feel so empty,
when everything you've ever needed
has been willingly given to you.
writing a long e-mail of great importance
without clicking send,
that you know will die the next day.

the computer cord out of the wall.
being the happiest you've ever been,
and then waking up.
