Camera Eye

Lost in the confusion of my mind

Looking for a way out

This cannot be real

Caught up in my emotions of confusion and anger

Wondering if they understand my tears
Always keeping my head bowed too afraid to see my future
Afraid of the hurt & pain that awaits me

Biting my tongue for others because of the fear of being alone
Compromising for the family but getting nothing in return
Wondering why life has thrown me this
The ups and downs; the tears and smiles

Praying that someone can help me out
Regretting all the moments I didn't fully cherish
I didn't think they would be taken from me
Afraid of the uncertainties that lie ahead
Lost in my struggle
I never thought I would be that kid. Not me.
To summarize the event this camera eye is overseeing, it is the divorce of my parents. I was young at the time so I was very confused and didn't think it was really happening because it was a huge change for me. The camera eye is seeing not only the event itself but how I was feeling during it.

  1. I think you did really well on this camera eye. Throughout the passage you painted a very vivid image of raw emotion. Your line breaks through out this is also very well done. While I was reading I started to see myself there as the divorce was happing. This was also very easy for me too relate too as well since my parents were divorced when I was young. Great job Sydney!

  2. This was so well done! The emotions are so well represented and organized. My parents spilt when I was younger as well and I can relate to the feelings. This was, i'm sure, very hard to write and you did an amazing job with it. I love how you put the activities around you as well as what was going on inside your mind.
