Facebooking

This is a poem from my first tutorial with Bernadine Evaristo. She told me she loved this and wouldn't change a word.

Facebooking

Sara is bored and has too much time on her hands
Sara is watching too many Youtube videos
Sara is wondering when the last time she went dancing was
Sara is hurt by the unsupportive statements made by her grandmother
Sara is wondering why every rose has it's thorn
Sara is sunshine, lollypops and rainbows
Sara is a day late and multiple dollars short plus interest
Sara is wired on coffee
Sara wears her heart on her sleeve but it went through the laundry
Sara is busy, busy, busy
Sara is going to the gym
Sara is back from the gym
Sara has spent too much time on celebrity gossip sites today but she does feel better about herself watching others demise
Sara is updating her website
Sara wants you to come to her show at the Railway club, tonight at 7 pm
Sara rocks it
Sara loves the attention- more! more!
Sara is waiting for someone to come over and cuddle- anyone will do- really, I’m not joking
Sara wants hot chocolate with marshmallows- except she wants marshmallows without animal bones
Sara is drunk
Sara is hella hungover - who wants to go for Thursday brunch?
Sara needs a vacation
Sara is optimistic, despite what her grandmother says
Sara needs a manager
Sara wants to be on stage all the time
Sara: in an attempt to be less self-reflective has gone people watching
Sara is amazed by the people of Vancouver
Sara saw kandi ravers today and smiled
Sara kinda misses Calgary but that probably means she just misses being 21
Sara wishes that when her friends got angry with her they would talk like adults instead of screaming at her
Sara is knee deep in the Quarter Life Crisis
Sara: a miner for a heart of gold
Sara is tired, exhausted, spent, drained and yet still optimistic despite what her grandmother says
Sara wonders if this will ever end?
Sara needs a time out.
