Trapped Emotions Many mixed emotions, Swirling round my head, Trying to ignore them, Never to be read. One is full of worry, One is full of dread, One makes me squirm, Inside my little bed. Pushing them all further, I piled myself with work, Trying to forget them, I really was a jerk. Whilst I was forgetting, They grew more powerful, Feeding on my happy, And my sadness whirlpool. Then it all became too much, My bottle overfilled, It came out altogether, Emotion spilled and spilled. I told my parents everything, My worries, stress and fear, They concentrated on my words, Then what they said was clear. "Now listen very carefully, To what you're going to hear, It's ok to feel like this, Especially this year. Quarantine has been long, We've had plenty of mishaps, But if you don't tell us this, Your sense will just snap. Now come up here on this spot, Give us a big hug, And if you really want to, Just have a big old blub." I've listened to their words, And now I'm full of cheer, Been amazingly hard though, But I know that help is near. There is light at the end of the tunnel, We just have to wait till then, Our rescuers are coming for us, And they're 10 out of 10!! By Sophie
