Rhys Matthew Poet Free verse

Teen Isolation

iThink our family isn’t as close as it once was. we each have our own friends
iGuess. to be quite honest, iDont know many of mine all that well, so
iAsk often for new friends (because some will keep track you know)
iTurn in my assignment on colonists in early America tonight
iSee my dad is out of office, again, and mom is shopping
iFind out many interesting facts about perfect strangers
iSmile at the end : ) so you know I’m kidding. when
iLaugh i will tell you how out loud it sounds
iWonder who early settlers talked to
iN the New World, and wow
iStare at this light a lot.
iT’s very late.
iHope im ok.
idk. am
i?

Audrey Haick December 28, 2011 at 12:07 PM Hey Matt, Yeah I know families are disintegrating and it is really sad..but don't take on the blame. It's not your job to keep it together..not yet.. your time will come. Just observe, be supportive and try to be understanding..all the experience will help u in the future, decide how to build yours so it's close and tight. Whatever you decide, seek after the truth..make that truth the center of your life. It can help to balance your family relationships. God bless and I wish you a very happy New Year. Stay strong, little brother. Love, Annalise Rhys Matthew January 5, 2012 at 9:54 PM thanks Ms. Annalise. beautiful truths you speak, though this is only an observation of teens today and how much time the internet generation spends in front of the screen. (i havent been a teen for some time!)
