Emotionally Blue
Rileigh Banks, 9th grade
Actions speak louder than words
They express things that cannot be heard
A certain action is what I yearn
It is but nothing more than a hug
Yet fear encloses my heart
Like how tea is enclosed by a mug
My emotions create an ocean
All crammed inside a cup
With the smallest motion
I think it might erupt
Drowning in sadness
Driving right into the madness
No matter how they tried
They never really had it
I am emotionally unstable
I always seem okay though
A smile shows on my face
Yet one day it may break
My friends try to make me happy
I can be though it's true
Yet at the end of the day
I am left feeling blue
Blue used to be my favorite color
Now I say adieu
I have always wondered though
What made blue, blue
