Camera Eye


The Dance

Two girls during a summers night    playing ball and telling secrets   one more than
            the other       best friends tell each other everything sometimes more than
            the other       best friends

keeping secrets     going out    beating    passing out     lost    independent   
                                                            every girl for herself

helping each other with homework and playing pranks on the teachers, we thought we were bad and no one knew how close best friends were or not how close neither knew   two halfs make a whole   she needed help but no one knew   secrets come in many forms secrets do not even know themselves

searching   trapped   some type of love   bushes   bottles of different kinds   trash    the kind that gets
              gave up on   

secrets have been shared  help is being asked for  can only help when it’s really wanted and worked for   scared of rejection scared of life scared of being the best friend who lost a friend  best friends is unconditional love unconditional

addiction babies secrets beyond measure searching to find self love happiness         love self 
           before the love of others       wanting something so bad    no means of getting there   progress

changes being made   hard times are tough   tougher without a best friend    these secrets were not her   this life was not her     best friend seemed to be unknown hidden away for the time being   unconditional love

She’s a soldier in a war but in a pink flower dress
If there’s one thing that can change my world
It’s that sweet smile of that little girl

Always light at the end of the tunnel no matter how long it may seem  always a rainbow after a storm and sun after a long dark light  bad things have happened but that is not what defines  how the situation was handled defined a relationship 

            laying in room talking about good secrets goes to bathroom emerges a bad secret  night ends early lay in bed best friends forever sheading a tear
            laying in bed talking of old times will laugh and cry until die we die past will be the past and remain a bad secret but from every bad secret     forward

forward it went and two girls during a summer came home      pig tails and juice boxes grown up out of love  good secrets came bad was tucked away
no more secrets for the best friends   unconditional love   faith   dependence   relationship closer bodies farther apart   maid of honor  smiles   hope for the future  trust in future trust in best friend       truly a best friend now and forever    the dance goes on



This camera eye is about my best friend and my relationship through out the time we’ve known each other. Neither of us thought we’d still be best friends after all this time. It tells the story of how secrets played a role in our lives and how best friends will always be no matter what happens.

  1. You did an awesome job with this camera eye. I loved how you used the word secret to talk about your relationship with your best friend. Every time I would read one line, I would want to keep reading to know what would happen next. This really kept me engaged and made me want to continue. I felt that this was very mysterious at times and then fun and playful during others. I also felt like I was in your shoes and it really reminded me of my best friend and I. You did a great job and had a very detailed and well written Camera Eye!

  2. I enjoyed how you took a relationship so vivid to you that it was abstract to all of us reading. I could relate to your story with one of my old friends but unfortunately our relationship was not as strong as you and your friends. "Always light at the end of the tunnel no matter how long it may seem always a rainbow after a storm and sun after a long dark light" when I read this line I thought that is was a lyric to a song that I have not heard. This line explains to me that you and your friends relationship is a natural and is going unplanned like going through a tunnel and not knowing what is on the other side. I enjoyed how you played with spacing and I wish that I had read your camera eye before doing mine so that I would not be so afraid to play with spacing more. Job well done!
