Soul Eater

Soul Eater

A Poem by Demure Penumbra

I will never know who I am
Who I want to be
I will never know what I like
Because I was never allowed to like anything
Because in order to be good enough for you
I had to pretend to be something I wasn't
Because in order to be accepted by you
I had to deny my very essence
and put on a new skin
I am forever scarred because of you
I will never let anyone in because of you
I will never find someone who loves me
All because of you
And I'm done
I'm done trying to please you
I'm done with putting up with your s**t
I'm done with endorsing the crap you think is right
But my time in your presence is not done
There are two more years to my prison sentence
and I only know one thing for certain
I will not survive them
The girl you see before you will not be
the girl you see two years from now
The girl I am now will be dead
She wont even be the foundation
Of that girl two years in the future

About
I'm 18, but somehow I'm infinitely older and infinitely younger at the same time. I cannot describe myself because I do not know myself. I am an enigma that not even I have solved, and I hope I never .. more..
