The Leaky Pen

Coralville Public Library's Teen Zine

Bloomed By Leah

I walked in not seeing,
Not feeling,
Not hearing, Not knowing.
Scared of what would come next.

I was closed tight,
Hanging on by a thread.
Clinging to the walls for support,
Alone.

But now I know.
I have opened up,
Brightened.
I have let myself shine through
And be free.

Today, I have bloomed
