Clueless In The Dark Poem by Chelsey Rowland

Standing in the dark feeling alone

but really just surrounded by people.

These people I do not know,

or do not know well.

I am not scared because I trust

the person standing before me.

What I did not know was that

the trust that he beheld was about

to be betrayed.


I was only eleven years old when

my life was changed forever.

I thought he was my friend and

after that night surrounded by his

friends in the dark,

I would never look at

him the same again.


I was glad when I could

go inside.

My life was as shattered

as a broken glass.

My life was no

longer the same after that night.

My life would never be the

same again.

My life would forever be

a rollercoaster,

up and down, up and down.
