Spotlight of Solemn
January 22, 2024
Crystal blue waters
At the end of the sunrise
Where beauty lays her head
A single spotlight of solemn
One more broken heart
As she holds her head below
A slight change in the wind
Sets off a blade
Though it doesn’t start a fire
But a slight change in beauty
Sets off the world
And turns the stars to dust
The reflection of her
Similar
But not the same
And with that difference
Sandwiched between
Who she is
And who she came out to be

I wrote this piece with the subject being someone who I was close to going through a hard time. I often write pieces very plainly without very many literary devices and I wanted to try including more devices such as metaphor and personification. I am in 10th grade in Seattle, Washington and enjoy writing poetry as it helps me process my emotions and get into a better mental place.
