Personal Narrative: Pink Hairband

Decent Essays
A man sat infront of me on the bus today, he must have been about the same age as my brother, I chuckled to myself. Hugh hated it when I called him old, but it seems he aint the only one now. The man infront shifted in his seat in almost an agitatitated manner, what was his problem. I sat looking at the back of him trying to work him out, he looked proper scruffy! He was wearing a camoflage jacket, with what looked like sholder length hair but his blonde scraggy hair was scooped back into a ponytail held together by a pink hairband. What was a man doing wearing a pink hairband? Did this hairband hold a story behind it? I sat imagining a little girl, a girl with golden blonde hair playing in the park with this man, calling him daddy, my heart

    I was afraid to pick Doodle up. My hand wrapped around his body and my other hand wrapped around his head, holding him up. The blood started to drip out of his mouth and onto my shirt and stained it. He was so heavy, I didn't want to drop him because he was so fragile. I stopped every couple of minute to fix him because he would start to slide down and my arms were so weak and tired.…

    Ever since I was a kid, I always found a rhythm on things. Whenever I heard the heartbeat from a toy heart that my teacher had in her classroom, in my head I always added an extra beat to it, always turned it into something musical. I always thought it was because I used to watch the Nickelodeon kids show called “The Fresh Beat Band” every single day when I got home from school, so I let slide. I knew that wasn’t the real reason because it didn’t feel like it was, but I never looked deep into my abilities, never did anything with it no matter how big it was and no matter how it would change my life. At that time I thought I was a waste of talent because whenever I realized I was good at something I never really did anything about it, until one day.…
