My Beginning


I feel cold; I'm suffocating.

I cried as loud as I could.

I didn't know that "outside" was bright.

Why does everyone look so glad?

It's unfair! I'm the only one who feel sad.

Before I realized,

I was crying as loud as I could.

 

I feel empty; I don't feel comfortable.

I don't have patience, so

I cried as loud as I could.

 

Why are you crying?

But you are smiling.

Are you happy?

I reached your cheeks;

Sorry.

My hands were too small to stop

the trickling water from overflowing.
