Once
Someone told me I was bad at hugging
so I stopped
I stopped giving hugs
because I didn't want to be told that again
I even looked up on wiki-how
"how to hug"
so that just in case I had to hug again
I might be a little more prepared
Once
I was told on my birthday
by some 10th grade 'royalty'
that I didn't matter
but I simply told them I did
and walked away
but since that day
I don't talk to 'royalty'
especially on my birthday.
Once
I decided I was for love
and I told her about my love
but because best friends
don't make the best of lovers
I was left with nothing
and I wish I would've said nothing
because maybe now things
could be different
Once
I posted this video of my singing
and Nelson played it
for both classes
and I was so embarrassed
because I didn't think anyone
would really listen to it
so I deleted it
because I never really liked
my own voice
Once
I made this blog named
Charlie Laurent
and it got way more emotional than
I thought it would
And I don't let a lot of people in
and I ask you to please
know me as I am
So now you know me as
the boy who wont hug
or
the boy who doesn't like his birthday
or
the boy who can't talk about love
or
the boy who loves to sing but wont
and the thing about
Is that he wants to be known
for who he really is
but you see even if all these sad things say a lot about me,
I made the choice a while ago
to be happy, and I am.
and I will continue to be happy
and I know this isn't the most spectacular of reveals
and I had no intention of competing with
Maddie Wheadon or Landon Hall
but I just wanted to say
I'm Caleb Miller
and I am Happy.
Caleb wow this is absolutely beautiful
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites. Great post. Great pen name. Great background. Great writing. Great blog.
ReplyDeleteIt's fine that you deleted that post, because I already downloaded it. WHAT
I'm listening to the cover right now. LOL. So good.
DeleteWait but your voice is incredible. I mean I have this thing called talent show anxiety when I kind of cringe when people perform or I listen to their stuff. But every so often comes a long someone so good that I don't. And for you I didn't cringe. Not even once.
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing Caleb.

DeleteCaleb. I adore you and all that you have written. There have been times where I just couldn't see myself waking up the next morning but then I'd remember Charlie and I'd remember Pluto. Thank you for pulling me away from myself.

ReplyDeleteFavorite human. I always go to your blog when I need to feel comforted. You probably don't know who I am. That's ok. All you need to know is that you're spectacular and that you've made a difference.
