Found — Summary

I put it away Tried to change it. Make It better. But I ran in circles. Thought moving around would make me feel better. Like the sky when it moves. The clouds look so happy. That's what I want to be. Happy.

Renee_Destiny2002's "Found" is about wanting to feel better and not knowing how to get there. The speaker starts by putting something away, then trying to change it and "make it better." The poem never says what "it" is, which makes it feel personal and a little guarded. It could be a feeling, a memory, or a part of the speaker's life.

The effort doesn't work. The speaker "ran in circles," and the short, plain lines mirror that sense of going nowhere. Moving around was supposed to help, but it only left the speaker where they started.

Then the poem turns to the sky. The clouds drift freely and "look so happy," and the speaker wants that ease. The final line, a single word, "Happy," stands alone like a quiet admission. The mood is tired and wistful, but also hopeful, because the speaker at least knows what they're reaching for.
