Drowning, but my feet, still brush, the ground. I’m baffled, while I gasp, for air, I forgot, how to, swim. What happened? I’m losing, a battle, I didn’t realize, I was in. Drowning, but my hair, isn’t even, wet.
I’m no longer a kid. I care what people think of me; the way I act, the way I look, the clothes I wear.
I’m no longer a kid. Back then, letters were only building blocks used for spelling, Why do they now mark the corner of my work? Why do they determine my academic future?
I’m no longer a kid. My tears are no longer spilled over a grazed knee For now they pour over anxious thoughts- Will they ever stop falling?
I'm no longer a kid. We were told to be bodies full of kindness, because everyone deserves love. Why are some people treated differently?
I’m no longer a kid. The world has opened up it’s true self to me and now I drown in it.
What is it like to love? It’s cliche to say Its like an angel was sent from above, It’s not a feeling, It’s a knowledge. Knowledge that, Wherever I am, Wherever you are, My heart aches for you.
If you love, love hard, don’t be afraid to be heart broken because it mends.
