Just a blue balloon full of inspirational poems
All my life people told me I could never be a somebody,
As a child I was simply the fat blonde in the back of the room,
and as a teen I was suddenly a wreck in all the worst ways,
I felt like a blue balloon floating through a sky made of needles,
I was all alone in a world full of people who hurt me without meaning to,
people who looked at me and saw a failure; a teenage ticking time bomb,
I felt as if I didn't have a voice; a way to combat these seemingly perfect people,
I was a thin layer of latex away from popping into nothingness,
and then one day during lunch I heard the sound of snapping and happiness,
peeking into the commotion I saw a room full of blue balloons,
my life was no longer a lonely one full of tears and fears,
the emptiness inside of me was replaced with words,
thousands of beautiful eccentric words that gave me a sort of power,
the power to prove that I was somebody and that was when I found myself,
laced within the poetry spewing out of every single balloon out there,
I was no longer the fat girl in the back,
I was the poet who poured out her soul into every piece and aimed to change the world.
