Have you ever had that feeling 

when you’re in a filled room,

 but you still feel alone? 


And you begin to space out

And the noise, 

Roars louder 

And louder.


And you try to fight back,

But you can’t. 

Only your tiny voice 

Versus what feels like millions against you.


One blink, one deep breath,

And you’re gone.

And the noise goes away

Your eyes open and there you are, 

In a blank space by yourself.


You forget about it all,

The madness, the stress.

 But you wound up in the same place you started.

 A scared teenagers brain,

 And you’re alone.


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece during a stressful time in my life. I had a constant feeling of being alone, even when I had people who support me in every way. Along with feeling alone, I had the constant feeling of stress and anxiety...like most teenagers would. I actually wrote this poem in my sleep. I knew how I wanted it to sound and how I wanted to split up the stanzas; the whole 9 yards. So I woke up, typed it into my notes, and went back to sleep. Poetry helps me get my feelings across in a way I can't explain to others. Each peice I write almost gives a litle insite to people about where I am at in life and how I'm feeling.
