blue skies.

today i went hiking at la branca in newbury park or somewhere,

only it wasn't hiking, it was climbing rocks and scaling cliffs.

my heart was pounding so fast, i was scared out of my mind,

one wrong move and i could have fallen in the river

or down the rocks and died, but i didn't.

my hands are raw from holding onto rocks for dear life,

my feet hurt from stepping in weird positions to hoist myself up rocks,

my knees and elbows are scraped up,

and i could have sworn i rubbed against poison oak,

but i'm not itchy so i got lucky.

even though it was terrifying, it was so thrilling.

i'm glad i did it.

i started making my list,

and i even wrote a song, two weeks ago today.

i can't believe it's been two weeks.

i just want someone to make me feel special again.
