8th Grade Poems, To and From

A General Explanation-Bella

I need people to keep me grounded,

Don't let me drift away...

I feel a lack of motivation,

And my mind has gone astray...

I want to open up,

I want to tell you everything.

But I want to put it in a cup,

Complete with a lid to seal off my feelings.

It's easier to shut down

And forget about the pain.

It's easier to say "I'm fine."

And not have to explain.

Now I fear that I'm stuck

To eat myself alive.

I have nobody, face to face,

Because I'm trapped inside.

I stare out the window

Wishing for different company;

Don't want to face the grief billow,

I need a new distraction.

I'm confused, and I'm scared,

I don't know what the future holds.

I fear my vision's been impaired

Of everything I thought I know.
