My mom always told me to wear tennis shoes while I ride my bike,

so my toes don't get caught in the pedals.

I have this blanket on my bed from my grandma,

and the first night I slept with it I cried.

It's soft and hand-knit and safe.

But sometimes I get cold.

And every night before I go to sleep,

I read a book,

And I end up turning pages all night.

But sometimes my favorite character dies.

Sometimes, I get paper cuts.

And I wake up tired in the morning.

My mom always told me to wear tennis shoes while I ride my bike,

so my toes don't get caught in the pedals.

But sometimes I ride barefoot.
