Below is a poem I wrote junior year of high school when I couldn’t put into words how I felt. We all feel a little lost and empty sometimes, and that is okay!! Poetry is sometimes how I express my emotions when I can’t quite explain the thoughts lingering in my mind. Metaphors, similes, alliteration, imagery, etc. are great ways to describe how you feel. I will be posting more of my poems on this blog (things I have written from middle school to things I am currently writing). After all, this blog is all about growth and joining me on my journey from a caterpillar to a butterfly!
The transcendent sun is shining but my mind is a rumbling storm.
The sky is an impeccable blue but my eyes sting from the deluge of rain that engulfs my sweet flesh.
The vibrant birds are singing a sweet melody but all I hear is morose silence.
All sounds lost in the glum and bitter whistling wind.
The world becomes mute;
The hums of the birds barely reaching the open roads.
Beautiful work! I’ve written a response poem to go along with yours.
With eyes as wide as my arms can reach
The sun says “hi”, but feels like bleach
And all’s that’s left for me right now
Are questions with me wondering “how?”
