T-Shirts and Blue Jeans

Black band t shirts And faded blue jeans Combined to clothed creativity In a child who silently screams Isolated and introverted youth Cynicism constantly growing Dark moments and blue bruises Covered by the logo showing Mind numbing frailties and paralyzing self-doubt His world is ten feet of shadow His idols help him speak out Vicariously living through artists Empowered by lyrics of truth Clenching expeditiously to music Blasting headphones wipe out his youth Chaotic reality, psychotic dreaming, Numbed by bottles over the years A passionate poet sleeps within him Blank pages are the ears of his peers Yet the ears of society are his target An abundance of epic collections He will not leave every pondered piece Only the greatest of his finest selections To be treasured or trashed? Is his struggle shared by the masses? Will his words synchronize his generation Or become a mere fad which passes? Questions to be answered by the future Yet his idols have taught him to dream For if not today, tomorrow will bear, Children of band t shirts and blue jeans

This took me back to a place I've been before and all the pain and emotion that went with it. I've lived this poem and I think you portrayed things quite vividly. It's deep and dark and real. I like your work.

your poem and words are remarkable. Audonus, your poem is a treasure of our future thoughts. Enjoyed the wipe out epic session of our clothed creativity. who really knows what tomorrow will bring, but for now i found myself a new favorite poet on the soup, hope your not just passing bye, here.. By the way i'm still running with the girl crowd of this generation wearing denim jeans... with t-shirts.. later,...p.d.
