100 Words: Distraction

Posted on May 22, 2008 by Mishelle | 7 Comments

A million thoughts race. A hundred-thousand feelings surge. A thousand regrets weigh heavily. A hundred tears fall mercilessly. All because of you.

I’m careless.
I’m fearful.
I’m clumsy.
I’m numb.
I cannot understand why you fluster me so!

Why won’t my mind put you to rest? Why can’t I just let go? Why do I torture myself so? Why is this so hard?

These thoughts, my feelings, rugged regrets, bitter tears; they are going to be irrelevant one day, I’m sure. However, now they bountiful and it’s a p p a r e n t that I need a new distraction in my [teenage] life.

    Sometimes I save the best for last, but then I’m late commenting, and then I feel bad on Twitter, so I have to come and have dessert here first instead of for dessert which is usually last, and… ;)

    And this was fabulous, as always. I loved the whole bit with the a p p a r e n t. Very creative, Mishi.

    HA! Wow, I remember those days. God, everything was so FULSOME during adolescence. So urgent, so extreme.

    Silly hormones, love is for grownups.

    ah… to be young and idealistic again! I hate worrying about if holding the line for 10 minutes with the cable company is worth the $3.99 credit I’m requesting.

    Written so well, I dare anyone to say they can’t identify with this.
