I Feel...A Poem by Laylani MullaneMoving to a new place has been...an experience. I've had good days and bad. This was written after one of the bad days.How can I describe what's swirling in my mind? Every thing's spinning so fast, tilting, shifting... Leaving me with my heart in my stomach and my stomach in my throat. 'Please!' I want to scream, but I'm choked. More and more thoughts are coming. Everything is shifting, I feel like I'm falling. Prayer does nothing, words simply falling on deaf ears. Lost all my senses in this new place. Everything is different except... All day I smile, at night I cry See that hasn't changed...I wished it had. Effervescent dreams have begun to melt in this heat. Any hope feels like it's disappearing. Nobody to talk to... You're too far away Angel. But even if I had you, I don't know if I could talk Only my dad keeps me afloat...barely... Dad...who moved me here. You're happy and so am I....aren't I? © 2008 Laylani Mullane |
