I can’t believe they decided to hang me

I’m slanging like a piece of butcher meat

Swaying in the breeze

Hung by the tippy toes of my feet

All because I said Little Cesars has the pizza

I’m upside down....

I’m upside down

It feels like the world has turned over

My life has changed, but for better or worse?

Everything doesn’t make sense anymore

I don’t feel like myself

Nothing around me seems like it stayed the same

It’s as if everything changed when I did

The sky is on the ground, it had crashed

Am I going insane, is this a dream?

I need to get myself back up

My feet are pointing up to the sky...

Everything feels upside down.

It feels wrong.

How could I fix this?

Do I make or break?

Strong as heartbreak.

I’ll find it one day.

The words I need to find.

Sometimes it’s dark,

Sometimes it’s bright.

Either way I’ll always be upside down.

How do I find the exit to this hell,

everything I do, everywhere I go.

It never goes away.

The dizziness,

of being upside down....

I live my life upside down

I walk, talk, breathe, upside down

It makes me distorted

But maybe it’s not so bad

I can see things no one does

I can do things no one does

I may look normal to others

Maybe not

Who cares

Upside down or not

I’m me

I’m upside down...

Left right down up

Upside down or right side up

Is a tree falling or flying

Is it possible for birds to be falling

Gravity is taking its toll

I am flying but my friends are screaming

Right down up left

Left or right which is which

Am I right for being left

Or am I left for being right

My friends are screaming

Gravity has taken over

Do I remember how to scream

Down up left right

Dow...

Charlotte set the glasses of water on the table as her family sat down. After a minute, her father spoke. “Niños, I have bad news.”

Charlotte and her older brother, Edward, looked at their father. He continued, “Grandma is sick. She went to the doctor, and they found a brain tumor.”

Charlotte was confused but pretended to understand. After finishing her dinner, she told her mom she was going to ...

I’m truly upside down.

perspectives reversed.

no wrong answer,

Between you and I

you didn’t love like me.

Though the same lines were said,

You weren’t ready.

Oh, how I pity you.

what you wear.

Misplaced trust

You weren’t ready.

Oh, betrayal!

Signs and signals in every line.

Are these words to you or for me?

It’s hard to tell with these pages.

Is this the right way?...

These shoes always hurt my feet.

The seam of the sock rubs my pinky toe raw

but I need these shoes to be my personality.

Silver, green, pink, green again.

Probably some other colors I forgot, too.

I made a mixed CD of songs that remind me of you.

I wrote your initials on it.

You’ll never hear it, it’s just for me.

I lay on my bed

legs up the wall

resting my aching toes.

It’s not quite summer s...

I feel the gravel embedding into the skin of my palms

Blood pulsing through my eyeballs

Core initiated

Glutes tight

Breathe

Toes pointing to the sky

Fingers gripping the sharp edged rocks

1, 2, 3

‘Flash’

I step down, no longer upside

To witness the beauty & awe

of what is before me...

i felt my fingertips start to shimmer with sweat

a single tear fell from my green irises that made my skin grow cold

i’ve never dreamt of a word so resentful

but she loved to peek in here and there, in between a beat and a siren

high alert

skin deep

racing feet

one, two, three

what is going on with me?

panic in between my rib cage with a little taste of courage peaking through

all toget...
