Upset, Sad and Blue
I feel squishy,
like the crushed blueberry
on the bottom of my shoe.
I feel empty,
like the deflated balloon
in the corner of my room.
I feel crinkly,
like the candy wrapper
I threw away at school.
I feel teary,
bleary, lonely and dreary,
upset, sad, and blue.
My very best friend
moved far, far away,
and I don’t know what I’ll do.
like the crushed blueberry
on the bottom of my shoe.
I feel empty,
like the deflated balloon
in the corner of my room.
I feel crinkly,
like the candy wrapper
I threw away at school.
I feel teary,
bleary, lonely and dreary,
upset, sad, and blue.
My very best friend
moved far, far away,
and I don’t know what I’ll do.
