repeat

by simple_sophia

Waking up, showering, brushing hair, eating breakfast-

Wait, this sounds familiar... but what comes next?

Just staring at a blue light... so pretty-

"Hey!" Oh, yeah.

Here comes school. Athletics, science, geometry, history. Now lunch! into the cafet-

Guzzling, binging... name-calling... oo, the blue light-

"Come on!" Um, ok.

Three hours left. Reading. Writing. Tech...nology? Oo... wait hold on. I have one more period left: career study. Done with school!

Mmm... food... am I even hungry...? blue...li...ght...slurp...m-

"Let's go home!" Hmph.

Okay! I'm home! Wonder what I shou-

BLUE... LIGHT...mm... yummy... wait.

Did she really call me that?

How could she?

WHY?
I thought she was my friend!

I can't do this any-

"Time for dinner!" NO.

M... m... how yummy! all for me... not for that bitc-

Nevermind. I think I'll go to my room.

"Hey, st-" No.

"Seriously-" No.

"Come on-" N-

"ENOUGH! What's wrong with you?" 

Crying, hugging. I think I'm going to be okay. Maybe? Thank you so much. Going to bed...

<p>hello! i&#39;m sophia! i am a fellow poet like most of you and love gaming, piano, ukulele, Queen (the band), and writing! this is my first poem on Power Poetry and i&#39;m pretty confident with it. :) i love it a lot.</p><p>it basically describes my everyday life (how it used to be, i&#39;ve grown from this and changed for the better) and how i kept repeating it even though i KNEW it was wrong to live in sadness. the blue light represents social media and electronics and all of the slurping, gulping, and binging described how i would use food as comfort or something to do WAY too often. at the end, the MC gets called out/talked bad about/trash-talked on social media by a fake friend and breaks down. they pretend they&#39;re okay for their parents/friends (the people speaking to the MC, so the multiple &quot;let&#39;s go&quot;&#39;s and such) that way they&#39;re not a burden to them. the MC is actually NOT a burden and is just making it seem like they are.&nbsp;</p><p>i did this exact thing as well. literally to the t. i was in an extremely dark place and had really bad habits. i would put on a smile for school and never tell people when i felt down. i would binge eat/drink (sodas, juices, coffee) and lay in bed on YouTube constantly. i stayed up until the asscrack of dawn and woke up either really early or extremely late. basically, i was super unhealthy.&nbsp;</p><p>eventually, my bad habits had effects on me and i became extremely sad and overweight. i wasn&#39;t confident in how i looked (still aren&#39;t, but we&#39;re getting there) and was about forty pounds overweight.</p><p>now, i am ten pounds down and feel so much better. i feel ok to show my arms or take a walk outside. i send silly pictures of my face to my friends and laugh with them instead of covering up my teeth or face when i laughed. i eat better and make sure to workout once everyday. i drink TONS of water as well. :D basically, i&#39;m better. not all the way, but getting there as i said before.</p><p>please, please, please, if you are going through something like this, reach out. ask for help. we&#39;re all here for you and i am cheering you on. don&#39;t throw your life away for the &quot;blue light&quot; or because of something someone said at school. instead, live it fuller for every bad thing that happens. be more postitive. walk 1000 miles and climb Mount Everest. go to outerspace and DREAM. try. :)&nbsp;</p><p>hotlines:</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px;
