Most Prized Childhood Possesion

I thought that I would add yesterday's writing exercise to my blog. I think this will remind me to make this into something.

Swift, slick, silvery blue blades. The best skates ever.
They were ratty and used
but they were loved and well customized
They took me places only fast paced high quality blades could take me
They hit the pavement every time I was
sad, mad, upset, or happy
They took me through all
my long annoying and awkward high school years
My mom asked me to get rid of them
"They're old tattered and have no breaks"
I didn't care, that is why I loved them
They were a tad too big
Sometimes I wore extra socks
They were so comfy
I was sad
I had to throw them away this summer
My knee blew out for the second time
I had to give them up
I had to give our quality time up
