The World Inside and Out

CACHINK

the camera goes

i'm usually smiling in pictures, but inside i'm wishing for the mini photoshoot to end

i never liked taking pictures

never really cared much about nice clothes

makeup? i would rather go for the natural look

 

one day it's

pajamas, a robe, and a laptop

reading stories and listening to music and going on internal adventures

dazing off and thinking of the future with big dreams

my room is a big enough world for me

 

another day it's

jeans, a sweater, and a cellphone

staying afterschool until the sun is gone and having an adventure on my way home

looking at the night sky and wishing that i can go do what i want to do

the world is my room to explore

 

a timid person, this girl is

"excuse me," she says as she moves further into the bus

there are days where the future is frightening to think about

she doesn't know what to do

doubt and worry fills her head

 

an eager person, this girl is

"these people need to move," she says as she walks down the hallway

there are days where the future is a much more exciting thing to think about

she wants to achieve her goals already

determination and confidence fill her thoughts
