Panic Room

Welcome to the panic room.I know they might be laughing.I know they might be staring.I know they might hate me.I know they might think I’m weird.I know they are thinking about me at the moment, in a bad way, probably.Is it possible that this is all in my head?Maybe none of this is true?Maybe I’m telling this to myself?Some days my life feels like a constant panic room,Feels like I can’t escape the worries I have.People tell me things are going to be okay.Will they?Are they?Telling a person that everything will be okay and that nothing bad is going to happen doesn’t always help.Not everyone heals the same.Sometimes people need someone who can help them by knowing what they feel,Or what their coping method is.Jaina V. is a 7th grade writer at Mitchell Middle School.
