Sensibly Confused

October 7, 2013
By Anonymous

I am the grey blur
I am the friend you laugh with
I am that girl you laugh at
I am the quiet one
Although I always have something to say
I have a fiery temper
But I keep a cool distance
I always have a new plan, a new scheme
I am so tired I find it hard to keep going
I am the popular one who is part of ‘the group’
I am the one who sits alone in the corner with a book
I am the one who works that bit harder
I am the one who has lost interest and no longer cares
I always try and support my friends
I feel as a start to crack from the strain
But whoever supported Atlas?
I am the one who can’t ever stop
I am the one afraid of starting
I am the one who is determined to fly
Am I the only one who can feel the speed of my fall?

I wrote this piece after a really hard day at school, when i was simply unable to one more iota of work and i just had to release everything somehow

I like this poem because of the conflict, it describes exact feelings, and people. Great job!

I love how you wrote one line then contradicted it in the next. More than that, I get how you're feeling. Great piece!
