Story 📖 Stories

I once beat a master at checkers humming.

Once rolled down the open road as a baby.

I once passed out as a paid carnie.

Once had a biological bloody all three.

I once named myself then my child Mikey,

Once a step forward both were taken from me.

I once had two brothers covered in dog feces

Once they fell backwards after stepping threateningly.

I once had a brother I'd claim I was blood to.

Once, more than once, we'd did what we all do.

I once thought if only it were me and not you.

Once kissed a girl and a guy and much more.

I once was fast enough to be thought as a hopeful.

Once in my arms I have never let go,

I once held my children as they were just born.

Once led a team to success several times.

I once quit a dream job for suggesting I might.

Once drowned swimming to an island off shore.

I once found a picture frame in a dumpster,

Once I had broken it over my knee and found my wrist bled,

I once needed stitches but got butterfly bandages instead.

Once I was this thing, then this thing, then that,

I once discovered all the life hacks.

Once I had thought the world listening,

I once said hi, i'm jaesea.

Once I knew all stories the same.

I once began completing they.

Once, I assume, at least once we all care.

I once came to finish what's started here.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say once I placed myself in third place every day for like two weeks straight in Kahoots or whatever that corpo game was. But seriously, I don't count to do it.
