light
January 11, 2019
Everything collapses
Everything is falling apart, tumbling down
A river rushing down on me
The light is gone, the dark returns
A cloud of tears in my eyes
The pain seeping through
And like a river, tears coming rushing out
Everything I was holding in comes out
Like a volcano or maybe a geyser
I’m a mess
It seems like the world is against me
Always looking down on me
I feel like I’m locked in a tower
An army of guards standing outside
Watching my every move
With every breath, I take
I remember everything I hid inside me
From joy to misery
From anger to fear
Everything Explodes
It flows out like a stream of lava

Born in Oklahoma city, Vaishnavi (born 2004-present). She started writing poetry in 9th grade. For her, poetry lets her speak her feelings without letting on so much that it might ruin something. Her poetry is representing her dysfunctional family and how she struggles with that and how she sometimes deals with that.
