New Moon's 13th Birthday Party!

THIRTEEN
by Cheyenne Parr

the clouds are falling.
i'm upside down and
sideways at the same time.
air is pressing down on my chest
five hundred miles of sky on top of me...
the moon is so far away but
i can still see it...
why?
i'm trapped
caught between the earth and the
universe.
i belong nowhere
no place is big enough for
what i need
the whole sky couldn't hold my emotions;
i could fill up an ocean with tears
i'm thirteen...

the ground is dropping from under my feet
will i rest ever again on stable earth?


Girls, send me YOUR stories and poems about being 13!
I'll post some of them on this blog for everyone to read. :)
