What I Have Learned as a Fourteen Year Old Heading to High School

Buried Deep – Who I Really Am

In the dark, Out the window, Across the fields, Down the street, Beside the lamp, Under the bushes, I was, stained of dirt Digging rigorously Breathing heavily Burying my feelings Under a layer of smiles And hugs A layer of kind words And hands.
