When I was younger, I would always write poems. I was told that I was very good at it so I figured I'd try again and post it.
Here I am again,
trapped inside these four walls
with nothing left to do but
think,
write,
and
read.
I have big dreams,
though.
I want to be the talk of the town,
the big girl on campus,
the one who wears the crown.
My problem?
I hate when
all
eyes
are
on
me.
I quake,
studder,
and shake.
When I talk I get all choked up
inside,
but hand me a pencil
and I've calmed the
tide.
Writing sets me free.
It protects me from studdering,
but still lets me be.
Here in this world I stand
(without a microphone),
but in my hand
I hold my pen.
"Let me write,"
I manage to squeek.
"You can sing,
she can dance,
he can speak,
and
they can paint.
All are creative,
but
let
me
be."
