“Maybe you’re not healing because you’re trying to be who you were before the trauma, that person doesn’t exist anymore, cause there’s a new you trying to be born. Breathe life into that person.” ~unknown


In a world of beautiful people

I am judged as I walk through the hall

I can't fly through the eye of a needle

Called psychopath, weirdo, oddball.

 

A box full of expectations, I get

My parents, siblings, and teachers alike,

"Will he succeed or fail? Please. take your bet!"

Too bad I can't tell them to take a hike.

 

It's MY LIFE, why does everyone care?

Not everything is about money!

Everyone says that life isn't fair,

All I'm trying to do is be happy.

 

I am throwing away my box today;

And the ones that want to be here will stay.


The author's comments:

This sonnet was a very releasing thing for me to write, I am a senior in high school and am definitely feeling the heat and the people around me aren't happy for me because I'm succeeding as much as they are that I am going to be making the Big Bucks and I am standing up for myself from this day forward. Thanks for reading! <3
