I Fly Away
by A’Naysia A.K.B.
Intro:
This poem is my story — my feelings, my struggles, and my hope. It’s raw and real, about feeling lost, wanting to disappear, and dreaming of freedom and peace. I hope it speaks to anyone who’s ever felt the same.
Poem:
I fly away,
I want to fly away like a bird,
Soaring through the air like every word.
Like a breeze,
Like a tree,
Like nothing means.
Words don’t matter.
I’m scared,
I’m tired.
I feel ugly,
I feel fat,
I feel disgusting.
Like, is that me?
How can that be?
When I feel like I was just 13,
Wanted love,
Wanted attention,
But it never ended up right.
Just feel like detention.
Detention is like a place that feels like trouble that you have to face.
Makes me, you know…
I stare, I stare.
Sometimes I wonder…
If…
I don’t just want to disappear.
I just want to be a normal girl,
That’s not in this normal world.
I just want to be free,
Like a buzzin’ little bee.
I just wanna be pretty,
Like a bunny.
I just wanna smell sweet,
Like honey.
I don’t know,
This is me.
My initials end with A.K.B.
I fake a smile,
I walk the halls,
But inside me,
I’m breakin’ down through it all.
Eyes that judge,
Whisper it loud.
I shrink myself to disappear in the crowd.
I trusted him,
He took my peace.
Now I look in the mirror
And barely see me.
I wonder to myself,
How could I be?
Is that me?
