Upside Down
Bella Stanton 2008 (Michigan)
Time and time again I lose
Everything I had.
It’s ripped away from me.
This feeling that was ignited
Got burnt out.
Charred.
It turned into ash.
My heart aches.
Thoughts spin inside my head.
Everything is gone.
My home.
My family.
My heart.
This fire doesn’t only burn away my feelings,
It burns away my soul.
The very heart I have inside.
A grin tickles the ends of my lips.
I lost everything.
Everything.
Everything.
Now the only thing I could do was turn this kingdom upside down.
About this poem
I wrote this poem because it isn't just a poem. It tells a story. Of this person going bad. How life can affect you in horrible ways if you surrender to it and stop standing strong. I'm an author and I love telling stories in any way I can.
