Megan - There's a Feeling in the Air...


There is a feeling in the air that things will get better

or that’s what I would like to believe.

From what I have heard about feelings

they are up to me, I can choose to feel certain things

but I feel nothing

but pain

but everything

mainly stress

The air is getting thicker, but transparent

just a lot of painkillers and unhappiness.

I wish there was more to say but you can feel the rest in the air.

Megan, age 16
