Balloon

Eden Penny

Eden was raised reading and writing. She believes it is very important for young people to use their voice in writing; there is a perspective only they have on the world that needs to be shared.

Every night I reach inside, and find my balloon.

I whisper all my secrets in, my problems, my desires, and watch them float away until the night consumes them whole

The sun comes up

the balloon is gone

And all the words inside.
