Secrets Unravled

Everyone is so worried about revealing pen names and all the secrets that come with including me because I won't want to post on here anymore and none of it will be the same, all of our secrets will no longer be secrets they'll just be more words on our blog or hidden away in our journals for only Nelson to see. If only we could have hidden behind them in class too maybe I would have shared more. I guess it's time to start telling the truth but I don't think anyone really cares if Clarissa McCall does and I don't exactly know how to start this or what I am going to say but here goes nothing.

I am known as the quiet awkward girl who's name you don't even know with or without the pen names,
I am a native Texan, I think cold is better than hot, I usually have too much caffeine in me for one body, I am one of  8 in my family, I pierced my own ears cause my mom told me no, I procrastinate everything including this, I live in fear of the man in the moon, I'm a half assed artist, I moved here December 23 2006, I've buried my heart, I hate when people touch my elbows, I'm more worried about my future than I am about boys, clothes, or social media, I'm Aquarius, rejection is my biggest fear, I have dark hair pale skin and blue eyes, I don't have a favorite anything, I am the girl that Nelson made share at the last journal jam, I'm vegetarian and hate when people give me crap about it, I've played many sports but quit them all when I moved here, and I hide behind a 2"x5" screen. 

I've told you all of this and still none of you know who I am. 

I'll see you all on Monday and maybe some of you will have read this and maybe not.
But everyone will have been revealed
 and class will be different 

I didn't plan to be another sad blogger it all just kinda happened
I thought a new name meant a new me
but
I guess whether I'm me or Clarissa McCall I think the same

I have many different names
Past friends have called me chibs and wheelz
Teachers call me Carsens little sister
Spell check calls me a spelling error
Anyone reading my name calls me the wrong thing
In ninth grade I was called best eyes 
Instagram use to call me stupidpeasantchildren but I grew out of that and now its just kalicdavis
The beans and brews crew call me the carmel cielo and dirty chi
I want to be called a tattoo artist some day
When I was little my family called me calliebear
Last year he called me his girl
and I call myself Kali




 But despite all that I've been called, my birth certificate reads
 Callen Clarissa Davis


 but I am still Clarissa McCall.

  2. This is actually one of the better ones and I wish more people cared. But it is high school so it's hard to get people to get their phones for other things. I really like your writing about the moon it's one of my favorite post my favorite line is "how could the moon do that he,s such a good guy" man that made me think a lot and it's just a about a stupid moon.
