Hannah Shier Poems

Keep your head up
Don't let the others put it down
Keep your head up, heart strong, soul brave
I know it's hard to remember this,
...

We all talk.
We all walk.
But can we
follow through
...

We're sinking, sinking
and falling, falling
deeper, deeper
into this pit of Hell.
...

I don't believe in 'heros'.
They are fake.
...

I'm told that when you fall,
you're supposed to get back up.
You're only in high school -
you'll face bigger things in life.
...

I'm locked in this room of silence.
No one can hear me.

You?
...

You see that open door right there?
You do?
I don't.
...

Slap.
Echo.
Scream. Again.
Kick. Crumple. Sob.
...

It
leaks.
It curves
and it swerves,
...

Deep
breath.
Relax.
Please, no more-!
...
