Why? Poem by Caitlin McGonigal
Why?
WHY
The thing I dream,
The things I want to happen
Such as
Me and… (some1 special) hold hands
I remember
As if we did already
We done it so many times before
It feels like a dream
I feel different
I wonder why
Why?
Why do I feel different?
I have a stronger feeling about this person now.
I wonder why
Why?
I just don’t get it
Why?
In Busch Gardens
It felt so weird
When they gathered around me
Especially the one who held my hand
I started to feel like this when she
Was trying to hold my hand
And then in the bus
We held each others hand
I don’t know why
Why?
We say we’re related
But it doesn’t seem that way….Now
When I tried to sleep
And dream about the girl
The girl that I like:
Elizabeth
The 0nly girl I dreamed of
Was the girl I held hands with
I don’t know why
Why?
I don’t mind it
But, but
I don’t know how I feel about her
Anymore
My mind id all mixed up
I feel like she is still my step sister
And nothing has changed
Except when we held hands
I also feel like
Like,
I love her
I wonder why
Why?
I wonder
I wonder if we will do it again
And I wonder how I will feel
After it happens again
I wonder
Even if I love her
I wouldn’t know how
How I’ll tell her
I don’t even want to tell her
I don’t want to tell anybody
But
But eventually somebody will find out
I wonder what she is thinking right now
I wonder
What she would be thinking if she read this
I wonder
I’ll give this to her
Before I
I go
I hope
I could only hope
I hope we could do this again
Again
Some other time
That will be nice
But
It still feels weird
I wonder why
Why?
Why am I ever writing this?
I wonder why
Why?
Is it because I want to
Or
Or maybe
It’s because I want to tell somebody
And I don’t want to tell just anybody
But
Somebody I can trust
Somebody who won’t tell
Isaiah?
No, he will know who it is
Jennifer?
But she won’t listen to me
Matthew?
But he will find out who it is eventually
Lisa?
No she won’t understand
I guess I can’t tell anybody
But that person at the end of school
But
I wonder what would happen
If it were to happen again
Well for on thing
She won’t hesitate…..
P.s
I think
I think I know
How Isaiah feels
Now.
I think.
