So Desperately In Love

Tomorrow was the last day of school, and someone had to ask me out on a date because I was dead scared. I was scared of the teasing I'd get for being the worst in running, and scared of the people pretending to be nice by being like, "Aw, well just do better by doing this and this and this." And lastly, I was scared of crying. Sometimes, as hard as I bit my lip or grinded my teeth, my mouth would pop open and the tears would come out, kind of like a broken water faucet. I needed to stay happy, stay laughing. I suddenly wished that I could carry some jokes or something that would make me laugh and laugh and laugh while I was running. I wondered what the middle school would think of that. I wondered what my crush would think.
I was madly in love, and if my crush would just ask me out or something all of my problems would disappear. He would stand up for me and then text message "I love you" or "You are so hot" to me, and we would smile and kiss. It would be so romantic.
Before I slept, I danced to music and then, for the first time in months, I prayed. I prayed that my crush would ask me out and then that I would die before tomorrow and then that I would live long enough for my crush to ask me out. Then I prayed that I wouldn't cry. And then I cried.

Note: This is one of the many writings that is the OPPOSITE of my point of view. I repeat, the OPPOSITE!

I see Myself

I see myself
With big brown eyes
That contain my sincerity
And a small semicircle smile
That knows the truth

I see myself
With an outfit that complements my mood
Either a boring white shirt
Or something black for cool

I see myself
With lime green crocs
That show style and fun
And lazy determination

I see myself
Standing tall and straight
Proud of who I am

I see myself
As me

Total Opposites

First Character
Mildred scurried, trying to escape the lively chatter of the city. She was in no mood for keeping up with the town gossip--she had so many other things to do. Mildred couldn't understand how rich ladies with families to raise could walk around the town in fancy dresses and actually stop to talk. Looking away, she shook her head and rushed home to clean.

Her Opposite
Lily waited a few minutes before fishing, stopping to enjoy the fresh air and what she considered nature's greatest beauty. She looked at the sunset, with every color melting into pinkish-gray over the dark ocean. "Oh, how beautiful," she murmured to herself. "If only I could stay a little longer." But I can't, she thought. Lily never understood why her parents wanted her to hurry and bring fish home so early. If she was a minute late for dinner, she would be in deep trouble. It's not fair that everything is so structured, she thought. Sighing, Lily headed home.

Locked Forever

I was imprisoned by the royal queen
There isn't anything worse I have seen
The dungeon is gloomy
No flowers blooming
Nothing is happy like before

Someone save me, find the key to the cell
Rescue me and kiss me like in the stories they tell
Oh, please let my story turn out okay
I pray with all my might that you'll find a way
And if you don't
If you just won't
How will I get out of this horrible place?

The walls are sound proof, they shut the door
I won't get to live happily anymore
I'm trapped, I'm trapped, there's no way to get out
At first when this happened I didn't have a doubt
But now I know that I'm locked forever.
