“Spots All Over Me”

by Sophia O’Brien

Spots are my flaws that keep on spreading.
Everything I do wrong I get what I deserve, and I get hurt.


I try not to complain, and leave it alone, but I can’t stop the spots from coming.
They keep on coming, and spreading.


It’s like the flu, it makes me feel like a fool.
The flu feels like it keeps on rising, and never goes down.
Just keep on rising, and feel like I’m dying.


My head feels like it’s bursting, and I don’t know how to stop the stress.
Spots are like stresses that grow, and they keep on spreading until you explode.


You tell me to stop, but I keep on stressing out.


The problem keeps spreading.
The spots keep showing, and I try to go with the flow.


I try to fight the spots, but I can’t.


Hate.

Sadness.

Anger.

Fear, spreads too.


I’m unable to fight them.
However, Happiness also spreads too.


When I’m scared, or stressed with spots all over me at least I know how to get rid
of them.

Stop stressing.

Leave it alone.
Stop making the spots worse, and let them heal.


Spots are my flaws.
But I make sure they don’t spread any more.
The spots will start to leave me alone when I leave them alone.


And I will make sure that the spots won’t spread, and go away.
