As the days became colder
And the sun stopped shining
We became closer
As the clouds became grayer
And the rain started falling
We pretended
It was normal
As the leaves were whisked away
We began online school days
And became inseparable
As the world caved in
And the flowers wilted
We forgot
The pain
Of the world.
-Lucy
I close the windows
Lock the doors
Turn off the lights
I don’t ever want to leave this room.
I am tired of drowning
In a world
That has never prepared me to swim.
There are ten days left until the first day of my freshman year,
And I am fearful.
Fearful of drowning under the thrashing waves,
For I have been taught to survive
but never to truly live.
One day,
you will feel pain so excruciating it becomes abstruse. You will feel numb, detached from the world, lost in a void of darkness.
