Lately I've felt scared

I'm shaking with fear

I just asked to talk with someone

Someone I hardly trust

It kills to think of what could happen

I want to trust her

I just can't

I don't know who to trust anymore

I only trusted

Him

The one who stayed by my side

Who kept my secrets

Whom I could trust

Now I don't have him

And now I never will

I'll never have that again

Middle school sucks

It's all about finding yourself

I didn't even know I was lost

It's like finding an elephant in a zoo

It's so obvious yet so difficult

It's right there but it's just out of reach

And your teachers, friends, and family

They push to your limits

And never let you say no

It makes you almost feel special

Other times

It makes you scared of what others think

If you step out of plastic

You never squeeze back in

But in the words of Dr. Seuss

Why fit in

When you were born

To stand out- Dr. Seuss

Lately I feel brave but scared
