hello i'm heddy and i'd rather be walking through a park, simon and garfunkel playing through my head, my hands intertwined with my girlfriend's. i'd rather be painting or writing or reading or learning. i'd rather be in my honors english class or at the library or in my backyard taking pictures of the acorns falling. i'd rather be sitting outside during a blizzard. i'd rather be quoting bukowski and plath. i'd rather be reenacting peter pan. i'd rather be in my country of origin. i'd rather be procrastinating. i'd rather be amongst the birds. i'd rather be anywhere but here.
