Sky Shout

by Maddy C, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Age 13


How would you even know
I was the best in class
Didn't think I'd get back up after falling
On my ask

Me some more questions
Tell another lie
What true good is talent, when it's
Thrust into the sky

Why bother believing
When nothing's ever mine
Look right deep inside it
And empty is what you'll find

It's not some fake two face
That I'm trying to sell
Do you even listen
Might as well go to

Hello? Can you hear me?
I think I'm fading out
I'm screaming ever hard
But you can't hear the
Shout

Ask
Me some more questions
Tell another lie
What true good is talent, when it's
Thrust into the sky
Sky, sky, sky...
