Waiting to be Found

By Becca Daniels
Williston Central School, Grade 8

I stand there, barely moving
Feeling lost and confused
Waiting to be found
Standing there
While the rest of the world continues to move around me
Moving more quickly than usual
They’ve all found themselves
They know who they are
And who they want to become
But what about me
As I stand there
Still not sure exactly who I am
Not really sure what I want to be
Waiting…
To be found.
