This is not my life.

I wrote this when I was 16. I admit it was rough to go through everything that people around me put me through, but I'm thankful because they were a huge part of who I became.

I’m the one

With a stolen heart

I’m the one

That shall begin a new start

And forget everything

That has passed away

And remember one thing

That whatever the way

I must get what I desire

Because I've had enough

And I’d rather be a liar

Than behave and do stuff

That I’m not convinced in

Just because

Everyone considers it to be a sin

But people want to interfere

In my life style

And be everywhere I go even here

In my home while

I’m writing, eating and drinking

They just can’t keep their nose

From just thinking

That by doing this they could cause

Lots of sadness and misery

Lots of sorrow and pain

Revealing my every single mystery

Which makes me go insane

But then I want to say

Just let me make my own decisions

And see my right way

According to my personal visions

So I could be free

From all my fears

Then I could see

That it’s not worth all the tears

And defy all my worries

So that my tale

Would be better than other stories

Thus I wouldn't fail

To achieve any of my dreams

But at last

It simply seems

That life has gone by so fast

That this is not my life

It isn't a thing that I control

As I used to do from before

So this goal

Of having a life which is great

From every side

Seems to be a false fate

Upon a huge pile of pride.

The fact that you wrote this when you were 16 amazes me... I love it when people loose their minds while writing which makes us as readers feel everything they have been through
So this is simple poem full of honest deep emotions and shows how powerful a girl's pride can be
Well done

[wordsofheart]

Very simple and yet deep. I was able to relate myself with every line. The feeling of misery and ddesperation are quite clear in the words. Absloultely Great!

Yes , when just a teenager I too thought that everyone who wanted good for me was just taking away my chances of enjoyment . How wrong I was and through the years of finding out for myself and walking the rocky path of life, I now reflect on the love and nurture of those people. Thankyou for sharing this poem...and it's so true we have no control , life is a gift and each day comes to us with its elements of uncertainty .

[Myriam]

This totally makes sense! I appreciate your review :)

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

We all in some point in our lives need to be set free to test our on ways in life, make our own choices! We most likely will fail at times, but that is a part of life! Excellent poem!

Deep thoughts and powerful description in the poem.
"Just let me make my own decisions
And see my right way
According to my personal visions
So I could be free
From all my fears"
The above lines should be the need of the all of us. We need to challenged life and see where we land. I like your poetry. You write with a veteran's hand. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Indeed. Life is such a beautiful place full of inadequate ambience. Unless its beauty doesn't fool you, you'll eventually find your way to the place where you belong. Thank you for the kind review:)
