Breathe Poem by Sydne Morris

The yellow school bus comes to a halt
at Black Hills High
Before I get up to leave
I wonder what the day is going to be like

Yesterday was hetic
finding out secrets
I didn't want to know
Learning that my love
was not return
hearing whispers behind me
telling my mom my dark secert

However, Today
Now I can breathe
smell the fresh air
cleansing my soul
heart, mind and body

I no longer have pressures
or worries
I just leave that old yellow bus
my main transportation
and enter that school

I realize everyone looks normal
but something is different
I am different
I no longer want to be like everyone else
I am no longer in denail
about anything
I just accept everything
that comes my way

Today at school
I can breathe
every emotion, thought
sentence, word, and fact
of the world
and not feel anything
because I feel finally
It's great to be alive
