There she was. Standing outside my New York City apartment door in her light pink romper. She stood there with the bright, golden beams of the sun reflecting of her shiny, brunette hair. She looked like a goddess compared to anyone that has ever stepped foot in the damp and dingy alleyway that housed my front door.
As I gazed through the peep hole, I couldn't believe an average guy like me could have a beautiful, lovely girl like Regina at my doorstep. I.. I stopped. What do I do? Should I brush my teeth? Does my breath stink? Should I grab her something to drink? What are we going to do? The door knocked again and I realized I hadn't opened the dark grey, mahogany door. I take a deep breath and collect my thoughts. I open the door. There she was, standing there in all her glory. I tried to muster something, anything but I couldn't. We stood there in awkward silence. Regina finally broke the silence. She asked for my rent and told me her boyfriend is making rounds and he asked her to come collect mine. My heart sank faster than a two ton weight falling off a cruise ship to the depths of the ocean. I trudged through my petite apartment to grab the envelope off my fridge that stated "RENT" on the front. I returned to the door, sulkily handed the envelope to Regina, and watched as the love of my life and a large sum of my money trotted away. I slowly shut the door, ready for whatever the world had to throw at me through my convenient yet seemingly insignificant peep hole. |
Ten feet tall, through the clouds
Confident, bold, proud How I got here, I may never know Where I'm going, it's unknown I'll walk through the streets, alleys, and roads People stare and laugh, heck, I'm the show I'm a freak, a freak What now? No one loves me Should it be fixed, how? How do I do it, become normal again I know nothing at all Until then... I'll stand here, just ten feet tall |
