Gali

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

She looked out at the world

From her tower

Hidden away from the

Place she was told

Was once her home

Her hair was long

Auburn

Shiny

Out the window she saw

Mountains covered in color

You can let go

Release

Break the dam

Let it flood out

Let the tears

Drip down your face

And I promise

I will wipe them away

Open your mouth

Let a scream tear

Through you

Each time you see her

Someone else takes your place

And I no longer matter

Her and I used to be friends

But then

She said she was

going to drop me

As it I am am item to be

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
