True To You

By Layla Johnson

 

You get pulled in

but you don’t want to

stay.

 

You laugh with the sea of monsters

afraid to find your own

way.

 

You try to avoid them

but they come back each

day.

 

You know you must leave, but

you know if you do, you have to

pay.

 

You need to be cautious

and pay attention to what you

say.

 

Look at yourself…

Now take a closer look.

Take a deep breath.

Is this who you

                         Truly are?
