This was an assignment in school, to write a free verse poem. I hope you enjoy :3
I look around.
Everything feels so new.
Nothing is the way it should be.
Sitting in my bed,
I stare at the boxes around me.
They are filled with so many memories.
I open them,
then put everything in them away.
Only occasionally will I ever see them again.
This house, so unknown.
This room, so different.
Nothing will ever be the same again.
I sit silently in this small, strange room.
I feel strange here, a freak.
But I must get used to this.
Here, I am caged like a trained lion.
There is no where to roam, or be free.
I feel so alone.
This place is like a dungeon in the night.
So cold, so boring, so lifeless.
There is no one to ever talk to.
The air is tainted here, as well.
Smoke and debris fill my lungs,
Making me die even faster.
I miss the fuzzy feelings.
I miss the feeling of being complete.
I miss my family.
Instead here, I am a slave.
I do as I'm told, no questions asked.
I have no choice in anything.
I hate my family for doing this.
For taking me away from where I belong.
For moving me away from my loved ones.
In case you still question what has happened,
I have moved far away from home,
to my mothers boyfriends house.
I do no exactly adore him,
But like I said,
What choice do I have anymore?
