Bullying
She didn’t belong here
"Don’t you do it"
Words too strong
She wasn’t used to this
The warning was a bark
Dangerous, dreadful, disregarding the commotion inside
"Listen to me"
The warning strives in the silence
She was hungry for friends
A thousand thoughts that she was afraid of
Terrified that the warning would settle into silence
One of the dark places were glowing
Feeling trapped like a car beneath a tree The warning
Frantic
She went into a state of flight
Her thoughts change and change again
Learning how to regret accidents
Disappointments can't be changed
Then
The sun comes out making an explosion
She's dazzled by a cluster of yellow chrysanthemums
She's driven back to the house
that made her who she is
She can easily see the yellow in the sun
Beautiful but dangerous the sunset trapped her
The yellow light could speak volumes
nothing could do it justice
The sun was like dew drops
Like the smell of rain
The sun was an ice storm
The sun made your hundreds of little faults and foibles
count for nothing
Making every intoxicating, intolerable, inconceivable, inhuman word Forgivable
Because of the yellow chrysanthemums

This is a found poem based off of Travels with Charley by Steinbeck and The Weather of New England by Twain. This poem is based off of the way that I found the "yellow" in my life when I was bullied.
