I've found more poetry from when I was trying to cope with a lot of the events that had happened to me during my junior year. It's interesting because I've gone through objectively worse things during my senior year, but I'm coping far better with them than the way that I had coped with the events from junior year. That's growth B^)

When something like that happens to you, you question yourself
You wonder
You consider if you really deserved it
You debate internally as to why you were treated this way
You think that maybe you really are the monster you've been depicted as
And it hurts
You feel rotten
You wish you were someone else
You don't know why this happened to you of all people
And it hurts
It really does
Because this is a nightmare
They say the best way to confront your fears is to live them directly
But this is so niche
You tell someone that you're terrified
Of the prospect that all the people you care about
Secretly hate you
Secretly despise you
Secretly loathe you
You're dismissed as paranoid
But when it actually happens?
What do you do from there?
It hurts
To have your fears confirmed
To realize that you're an easy target
To understand that you're an easily dislikable person
It stings it really does
So there lies the question
Where do you go from there?
People say that when you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up
But how do you get out
When the walls are curved
When there are no footholes
You simply have to wait for the rest of the world to come down with you

Sonnets for Someones
PoetryI've discovered a love for sonnets due to my AP English Literature and Composition class, so I began writing sonnets about people, places, and things. These are a collection of sonnets, as well as generally poetic musings that follow my thoughts.
