I am Poem


I am a Kindergartner

Listening to words

Singing songs

Learning my colors

Happy with the world

I am a kindergarten

 

I am a third grader

Meeting new people

Playing Pokemon

Running around

Still happy with the world

I am a third grader

 

I am a fifth grader

Finding my clique

Having my first crush

Being called fat for the first time

Starting to feel self conscious

I am a fifth grader

 

I am a sixth grader

Boy crazed

Craving name brand

Still being called fat

Starvation and anger set in

I am a sixth grader

 

I am an eighth grader

Hatred towards my mom

Divorce

New mom

Still being bullied

Feeling alone and worthless

Starts to cut and starving myself

I am an eighth grader

 

I am a freshman

My daddy is my hero

His girlfriend is my best friend

Cuts getting deeper

Starting stages of Bulimia

Feeling in control

I am a freshman

 

I am a sophomore

Watching my hero turn in my villain

Hiding bruises

Cutting deeper

Finding meth

Living alone

Getting sent off

I am a sophomore

 

I am a junior

No more villain

No more bruises

No more meth

No more eating disorders

Starting to find happiness

I am a junior

 

I am a senior

Happy

Self-confident

A fighting

Ready to start a life

I am a senior
