Finding Me
I come from the separation of a family
From the sound of his fist hitting the wall
A bang
From shouts so loud it’s like standing by the waterfalls of my childhood
The lack of knowledge that the police have come
From the drip of rain to the floor as the screams of detest are roared out as loud as a lion
And the cries of my mother accompanied by the clink of cuffs
I come from self doubt
From loneliness so prominent
Prominent enough the pain stabs my heart and soul
From the voices loud enough to be like flies in my ears
No faces to the sound as if slenderman is lurking near
From the chills of the cold midnight air unable to sleep
From sandwiches, chips, soda and cakes, icecreams and snacks eaten
Hopes,
Hopes the food will cause a stomachache big enough to distract the mind
From the crushing feeling of uncertainty like a boulder crushing my body
I come from knowledge
From thoughts of all the changes around me
Feelings,
From realization,
Realization so big
As if an elephant is being taken off my shoulders
From the understanding of the emotions
Felt so prominent
Sighs of relief sounding as if the wind is blowing
From a house in where this knowledge is taboo
The feeling of bandages wrapped around a suffocated chest
Purple
The bruising
I am from the judgment of others
From the stares pointed towards oneself like a new animal in the zoo
Food thrown
Exploding so loud the ringing in your ear is persistent
From the rocks digging into skin
From the names of fag and tranny of hore and slut
Daggers thrown each cutting deeper with every word thrown
From the feeling of separation
Big
As if a bear is wrapping it’s paws around ones body
Squeezing you from consciousness
From light
The light of others guiding my way

This peace was done as a school assignment meant to be made as a way to show what has made you the person you are today, so I very much hope that anyone who reads this work is able to feel the emotion put behind each word.
