 A Most Gruesome Life

 

Sitting in this body

This young frail body

I let my fingers fly on the keyboard

I do not know why or how

I have come to voicing my opinion like this

As a young teen my voice is not heard

Not now, not ever shall it be

But can you not see

My body is young

But my mind is that of a poet

A poet with knowledge and experience

I am suppressed so I can not express everything I feel

I fall under conformity and follow along

I sit quietly waiting to steal

Steal the moment, steal the eyes

Let them wander towards me and widen

I am the one opposing, I am the voice

The voice of the forgotten and cast aside

I am the one who puts on this mask

Everyday and every night

You see teenage angst

I see the will to fight

To stand firm in my beliefs

And no force in this world or the next shall overpower me

I stand strong for I know when I grow old

It will no longer be angst, but knowledge passed

This is my gruesome life, but it shall not be the last

I like it alot!

Nice use of language... I found it very good.

Very emotional too, which you need to be careful with some times.

Keep up the good work!
