There's a moment in my mind
A calm before the storm
The part of the song where we all fly
Before plunging down to darkness.
There's a moment when I can feel my blood
Pounding through every part of me
To the tune of my heart.
There's a moment when the storm in my body
Cascades around my thoughts
And I am gone.
There's a moment I can feel
Where I have truly been lost
Where upon new hopelessness,
I do not cry.
I rebuild.
I strengthen.
My eyes are charged with lightning
My steps sink into the earth
As the wind catches my hair and whips my head up.
I will not change for you.
Stay strong.
Stay strong.
I will not beg for you.
Stay strong.
Stay strong.
I will not give in to you.
Stay strong.
Stay strong.
Stay strong.
It doesn't matter if it's an act
If I don't get hurt.
There's a moment
Where I am my anger.
There's a moment
Where I have lost my outlet
And so I run.
There's a moment
Where I forget to care
And it feels so freeing.
The moment steals me
But I do not fight it.

I discovered Young Writers Project again after years of forgetting it existed. I just read 3 of your poems, and every one of them made me feel charged and alive and stunned on words. I think it's strange to feel so comforted by knowing someone exists who I've never met, when the kids around me in the lunch line jostle me out of reality.
I completely agree! Thank you so much, that means a lot. :)
