A New Chapter

Dear Molly,
     So, finals are over. You spent your last tearful day at Poly. You go tomorrow to dis-enroll and you start Millikan Tuesday. Yikes. It's going to be difficult starting fresh. But it's a good thing, you think. A lot of people are on Team Molly, there to support me. If anyone reading this would like to join, let me know.
     The feels. Gosh, they're overwhelming and conflicting. You want to miss Poly and curl up in a ball and bawl your eyes out. But yet, you want to keep putting one foot in front of the other. You're excited about Drawing and Painting, APUSH, and Accelerated Biology. You're excited for a clean slate grade wise. So don't screw it up. Don't.
     You're definitely going to miss Poly. You've made some good friends, hopefully some for life. But fresh starts are good.
Song of The Day: Superman(It's Not Easy), by Five For Fighting
'Cause it ain't easy. And yes, you like to imagine you have a cape on occasion. Or a funny red sheet. Whichever works.

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird,
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd but don't be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won’t you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for her dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
It's not easy.
It's not easy to be me.
