My Dark Place
November 9, 2022
The place I considered safe,
It turned into a dark place,
Everywhere I go, they follow.
Like an ongoing fire,
It just can’t stop,
Their words burn,
But a smile remains on my face.
Internally I am screaming,
Because they are an adult,
I am just a child,
Filling up with rage.
That smile shall remain,
They found one weakness,
Now they are using it against me
There’s nothing I can do now.
It may be in the past,
But my past haunts me

Dealing with experience at a place you attend everyday. The narrator is expressing in this poem feeling like you’re a target, walking on fire, trying to not express yourself because you’re only just a child and who would listen to you? Every word they say about you haunting you, but smile still remains because that’s what you’re known for.
