This poem is honestly one of my favorites. I first wrote it in my high school creative writing class, where we were assigned to write in different styles—and this one was a ballad. Growing up, I had heard so many poems that were funny, exaggerated, and a little goofy, and I wanted to create one of my own.
I decided to write from the perspective of a little kid, taking an event that might seem small or sad to most people and dramatizing it as if it were the end of the world. I had so much fun exaggerating each moment and playing with creative rhymes.
