My pencil case

from the 6th grade year

it held more

than just pencils

it held

and still does 

memories

My pencil case came in a box

with all the other school supplies

It is green

and cheep

My pencil case

became very worn

over the year

me 

and my friends

wrote on it with pen

almost every day

when the words faded

we wrote something different 

My pencil case

was the ideal place

to hold notes

notes of truths

notes of lies

notes of suspicion

notes of trust

notes of drama 

notes of secrets

notes

that I'm guilty about

looking back at them 

My pencil case 

is now sitting 

on my desk at home

holding the things

that 

are special to me from 6th grade

the things that I can't bear 

to throw away 

My pencil case 

from the 6th grade year

it holds more

then pencils

it holds memorys
