Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

What a day!


He liked fights, blondes, and for some unfathomable reason, school. He was still a junior at eighteen and a half and he never learned anything. He just went for kicks. (Ponyboy’s description of Two-bit)
Why would anyone like school? Why would they go for kicks? School was never-ending today and I don’t have a diary (it’s supposed to be good for you) and I need to vent. I know this is an Outsiders blog but hay! I made the dang thing so I can break the rules if anyone can! So here I go. I need to spill guts to you. School dragged on and on today. Math was boring because I’m working ahead. I’m only working ahead because the class is going so slow, I’m not like a teacher’s pet or anything. I have a Spanish project due tomorrow and it isn’t done and I’m supposed to be off-book in drama and that isn’t happening either. AND there is this super weird kid at school who keeps asking me for a hug! When I say “No.” He says, “High-five?” and so I give him a high-five to get him out of my hair. Otherwise school is okay, I’m the director of a video project in drama and I’m pretty good at bossing people around as it turns out! Who would have thought it? (*sarcasm*) With my naturally bossy demeanor, and my controlling personality type I thought I would be terrible director! Oh well! Here is an Outsiders quote just in case there is an angry mob forming on the other side of this deserted blog.
~Elise (Stay gold!)
“I used to talk about killing myself all the time, man. But I don't wanna die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't gonna be long enough. Hell, I wouldn't care so much if there hadn't been so many things I haven't done yet. So many damn things I ain't seen or done. That time when we were in Windrixville was the only time I've ever been away from my neighborhood."
