Alone and logging
Still and cold
Lays a giant, once majestic
And calm
The pool around them is green and stale
It smells of old and rotten fish
The giant doesn’t move,
It doesn’t make a sound
All it sees is green
They only movement being it cell mate,
Another smaller giant in their family
As the season change the weather comes and goes,
The giant stays logging,
Not moving until in need of air
Slowly, it rots away
There is no one to care,
No one to watch them jump and play
No one to have a family with
Finally, it comes to an end
The giant lets itself sink,
Letting the rotting feeling take over
And finally relaxes,
Going back to life before captivity

I could never feel
I could never see
I could never hear, taste, or smell
I never had a thought
But then someone open my eyes
And I saw all the wrong and right in the world
I was the wars
I saw the global warming
The hate
The death
The fire in which we all burn
But where there is dark there is light
And I saw the peace
I saw the health
The love
The alive
The light in which we thrive
It's both an healthy and unhealthy balance between good and bad
So how I think
Now I feel
Now I see
Now I hear, taste, and smell
And I want to help
I want to fix the bad
And make the world a better place
But I'm just 15
There's only so much I can do
So help me make the world a better place
Because I'm not the only one killing it

Cold, dark, calm
The water is all around me when I open my eyes
I hear the soft clicking of another
I hear the waves crashing far away
I finally open my eyes
And I see another giant with me
She helps me move up
And I get my first taste of air
The gulls call
The waves sound more strong
And I feel free
I take my first breath
My first jump
My first everything
Until I feel tired
Then the other giant makes another click
Calling me to her
And we swim away together
Living our lives in the blue deep

Sometimes you can't walk because you feel too heavy
Sometimes you can't stay down because you feel too light
You have seen and heard things
But you push it away to comfort another
You hold others while they cry
But you never show your true feelings
After years of being told that you're dramatic
And no one wants to hear a sob story
You hide behind fantasy
Not knowing the difference between that and reality
Because you only feel real in your head
You make friends that never will be real
You image mountains and beaches
That you'll never see
And you feel safe
Warm
Calm
Happy
Yourself
Yourself that you hide because of your trust issues
Depression, anxiety, self-doubt
But maybe
Just maybe
If you share your fantasy with another
You’ll find an even better reality

Growing up I idealized Hermione Granger because of her magical talent
Now I read about the Salem Witch Trials and how women were put to death for being accused of witchery
We are told it’s just a little pain and to walk it off
But Period Cramps mirror the same pain as a Heart Attack
Growing up when I told someone I was being bullied by a boy
They told he “must have a crush on me”
And now it’s normal for girls to be in abusive relationships
Because we haven’t been taught the difference between Love and Abuse
We are told it’s our fault for being harassed and kidnapped
because of the clothes we wear
We weren’t allowed to vote
Because we were told that we didn’t know anything
We weren’t allowed to work
Only allowed to stay home and act as a
maid
While our husbands were out making the money
Speaking of husbands
We were sold or traded like meat to men
Who rapped and abused us until we gave them children
And even then we weren’t safe
Even now
With everything we know
We still face it
We can never run from it
We aren’t safe
May it be from foreign affairs
Or people in general
We all face it
We can’t escape it
So teach your boys
Teach your girls
Teach your children
That we are all equal
No matter race
Gender
Sexuality
Or ethnicity
