What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

The Strongest Of Knots

We have grown, you and I,
Graduated from the sands of recess,
Where freedom at its finest
Filled our youth and would caress
The unrepentant instinct we knew best.

Happiness has dwindled
As age has swiftly grown,
It looks as if we've
Chosen separate paths alone.
Perhaps our paths will cross once more
And end this absent drone.

Yet truthfully I can't stand
What you have become.
You're not the kid I met
When things were nice and fun.

Where were you when
I needed help, a trusty friend.
Your mind is elsewhere now, okay,
All good things will sometime end.

I've been standing outside your door
But my limbs are growing cold,
I suppose I must accept that
Even the strongest of knots do not forever hold.

    This is a good one.
    There is a little weird shift-- it takes an entire stanza-- and it starts out strong.

    Ends good.
    middle is weaker, but average.
