About my Senior Video Essay
We where supposed to explain ourself through a video without showing ourselves. I took this on by writing a poem that explained how I’ve felt about high school. After that I had to come up with something to film. I came up with the balloons because I felt like it mimicked my want to be flying free from school but being tied down and alone. I used the woman to show that even through everything you can find someone who will help you out of any situation.
There is stupidness that surrounds the air I breath
It suffocates me from the inside out
It won’t ever leave me
My eyes water and my heart aches
But worst of all I want to make others feel the same way
I want them to cry like me
Understand the pain I feel
It seems to be unending
But when I get emotional everyone says
Shut up
And listen to their problems
For once let me speak
Don’t tell me to go and kick something
Or that I just need an outlet
Nothing is my outlet because this pain lives inside me
The dumbness of it.
The stupidity I live in,
Is real but all you seem to think about is yourself
I learned from the selfish to be selfless
But how am I supposed to do this
Why do I always come second even to myself
Why do I just want to cry rivers till the pain goes away
But most of all why do I still put a smile on my face
