I go on the Computer

Because it’s a place I can be alone,
Alone,
Away from the craziness,
Running through my house.

I’m in my room,
Air on, light on, computer on.
I go on face book, I see pictures,
Memories; memories jump back
In my head. The life I had
in the UK, was right there in front of me.


I see my friends, gazing into my eyes.
I knew they all moved on,
New places, new lives.
They were happy, not upset,
but I hoped they missed me,
because I miss them.

I see comments, comments from my friends.
“I miss you Katy”
I re-read them, tears are falling,
Likes leaves coming off a tree.
I feel empty,
friendship gone,
UK gone.
But I have my new life in Panama,
New friends. Fresh start.
I’m going for a new life, but not forgetting
The journey I had back in the UK.

  1. Nice job :). It was really beautiful, and since it was I could picture you crying. It must've been hard to leave all your good friends, but now you have new friends, and don't forget that. Great line-breaks too.

  2. Nicely done Katy! this line evokes so much feeling, especially to kids who move around often:"I knew they all moved on,
    New places, new lives.
    They were happy, not upset,
    but I hoped they missed me,
    because I miss them."
