Only day 6
And yet my backpack
Has left bruises in my back
Quizzes and tests
Have been sprung upon me
Only day 6
And yet friendships
Have already started
To weaken and decay
Unwanted comments
Surround me
Only day 6
My mind is already
Stretched and in pain
Fear of failing
Creeps up on me
Homework makes me
Stay up past my limit
Only day 6
My eyes are closing
As I write my poem
My fingers hurt
From gripping a pencil
Only day 6 and
I'm
Ready
For
It
To
Be
Over
Each time a leaf falls
Another heart shatters
Each time the wind blows
Another break up
But each time a pumpkin is carved
A date is planned
Each time a cider donut is devoured
Another kiss
Hand in hand we walked down the path, littered with colorful leaves. A gust of wind swirled the leaves around us. Encompassing us in our own little world. I looked up, the trees bent over us with shades of red, orange and yellow.
Tendrils of anxiety
Snake out
And trap me
Opening a hole
Where my brain
Goes down
Finding everything
That could go wrong
A new crack in me
