I came across a poem I wrote when I was 17 years old. Roughly 16 years ago. What a blast from the past. I hope you all like it. Be easy on me lol.
I recall the times I was sad and alone
Tears splashing down my disquiet face
Many worries coming from an abusive phone
Words bouncing through an empty place.
Too many messes have spoiled my life
Causing me to throw caution to the winds
Broken promises flow the night, a very sharp knife
My mind runs back to where my pain begins.
I had many chances, now nothing new
Chasing fears through constant dreams
Happiness is ever less with thoughts of you
Making amends through obvious means.
Standing before the judge in hesitation
Straining my mind for what to say
Words flow free about my allegation
I'm worried that I'm here to stay.
Proclaimed guilty, little innocence
I am escorted back to my awaiting peers
I'm stuck inside of the compounds of the fence
Every day I see myself in the scratched mirrors.
At age 13, I wasn't very aware
Now I'm 17, four years down the drain
More alert, but my fears are present and ever near
I have nothing to lose anymore, but everything to gain.
